The wine region of Ohio
Midwestern wine state tempered by the Great Lakes, a cool climate. Signature Grand River Valley Riesling: chiselled, precise whites with signature notes of citrus, white peach, green apple, white flowers and a mineral touch, crisp acidity — compared to the neighbouring Finger Lakes. Buttery Chardonnay, fine silky Pinot Noir, peppery-raspberry Cabernet Franc. Also sweet Vidal Blanc hybrids, Catawba, Concord.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
