"Very hard to believe that this is an entry-level dry riesling. So joyful, succulent,and expressive, brimming with fresh tropical fruit, white flower and peach aromas. Great concentration and spot-on balance on the medium-bodied palate. Very long, complete finish with great mineral freshness. From grapes that were cold-soaked for three days, then one-third barrel-fermented and two-thirds in stainless steel. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The entry-level 2024 Dry Riesling Lahoma Vineyard is startlingly golden-hued for the variety. Taut, phenolic and grippy, it shows impressive texture and internal tension. Wintergreen, white pepper, gunflint and ginger spice run down the palate with linearity and drive. Fruit takes a back seat to structure here, but that feels like a direct reflection of terroir. Crushed rocks, slate and a whisper of white smoke linger on the finish. This is ridiculously high class for the price, a testament to what the Finger Lakes can deliver in the right hands."
