Riesling 'Dry'

Score

"A light-bodied, fruity and elegant white with peach and honey aromas, then rich in nectarine flavors on the palate. While the wine is effusively floral and fruity, the finish is clean, dry and minerally. Drink now."

"A vibrant, golden hue, this smells of summer in America's Northeast: lemon sorbet, freshly washed sheets hung to dry on a clothes line, a windowsill of herbs, freshly turned earth. It's dry with lovely flavor concentration, tex­tural weight and crisp acidity freshening it all up. It's somehow curvy but linear at the same time— and a total bargain for the quality. Editor's Choice. —C.P."

"The 2022 Dry Riesling comes from a vintage with a polar vortex in the winter, resulting in a much smaller crop. Those low yields led to great depth of fruit here, accented by leesy saltiness. Sweet peach, apricot, lime zest and an exotic note of guava emerge, braced by measured acidity and notable grip. This bracing Riesling finished at 3 grams per liter of residual sugar. The 2022 is quite good."

"The winery's largest-volume wine at around 4,000 cases this vintage, the 2022 Dry Riesling is a blend of fruit from the winery site (71% Limestone Springs Vineyard) and an estate vineyard on the eastern side of Seneca Lake (29% 16 Falls Vineyard). Peach, honeycomb, green apple and lime notes lead the way on the nose, while the medium-bodied wine is surprisingly plump and rounded yet with a long, vibrant finish. The final residual sugar is four grams per liter."

"Bright Meyer lemon and crisp yellow apple notes form a plump core, while verbena and quinine add zip through the juicy finish. Delicious. Drink now through 2028. 4,004 cases made.—J.M."
