Review
2005 Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling, ($21/375 ml): Brilliant aroma of fresh kiwi, rose petals, and delicate citrus notes. No honey here since the fruit was harvestedearly and then intentionally frozen in a tank before the fermentation began. Searing acidity balances the 14% residual sugar perfectly and a low 8.5% alcohol makes the wine light as a feather on the tongue. Exceptional, Dan Berger, 3/18/2008
