2017 Ravine White Springs Vineyard Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes). Nine years old and still seems youthful. Great nose of zesty Granny Smith and slightly unripe Cortland apples and lots of high-toned stony minerality. Palate is concentrated and intense, lots of crisp acid to balance the deep fruit and intense stones. Lipsmackingly delicious. 9.3 (This is a re-post because @Delectable Wine deep-sixed the original) — 11 days ago

Had this with a chicken paprikash we made and it really hit. Bright cherry and almost candy-like flavors. Tannins were bringing up the bass. Nice wine. — 7 months ago

Hybrid grape fixes this an interesting note that one usually doesn’t get in dessert wine. Cross of expensive perfume / gasoline / grapefruit pith. Also has an interesting reddish tint. — 8 months ago

A little reward for one of the cooks (me) after getting the Christmas Eve meat sauce simmering. (My sister-in-law is doing the fish sauce, if you’re wondering.) Fresh, appley, minerally nose. Very perfumed and deeply aromatic. Great balance on the palate. Bone dry, some fruit, deep stony minerals. Crisp acids. Lovely. — 2 years ago

Excellent. Mineral - driven with peach/ citrus and a lengthy finish. Just fun to sip with apps. Ravine’s rieslings hit. — 2 years ago

Not a big fan of sparkling wine, but this is terrific. Got the petrol nose, green apple and tiny touch of sweet- dry and really delicious. — 2 months ago

2020 vintage is excellent. Full body, soft tannins, and dry with just the right amount of fruit. Paired very well with steak and potato’s. — 5 months ago

Blend of Riesling, Valvin Muscat, and Gerwetztraminer. Off dry, very floral. Lemon- lime, crisp and bright. Good acidity- finish is a little thin- but quite refreshing. I’m not a huge fan of off- dry whites, but this is pleasant — a year ago

This is very much like a Bourgogne Rouge or Sancerre rouge from a top-tier domaine. Pale color. Very precise nose shows deep, just-ripe, pure cherry, a slight herbal note, and lots of crushed stone, seemingly on the limestone end of the spectrum. Intense but light-footed in the mouth, there’s deep, tart-but-ripe cherry fruit initially, turning savory and minerally on the long finish. Crisp acids. Very nicely done. Thanks to my brother Angelo for the gift! — 2 years ago

Delicious. Lemon, pear, pineapple, honey, rich. It is lightly oaked, but it actually is pleasant rather than obnoxious. ( F*** off Tom). For those who look down on Finger Lake Chardonnay- good. More for me. — 5 months ago

Light, but still full bodied. Paired it tonight with the steak recipe the winery suggested, and it was amazing! — a year ago

Fun wine. Strong oxidized notes with nuttiness. Floral acidity up front with an underlying hint of sweetness. Would love it if the flavors and aromas lingered longer. — 2 years ago

With 69 percent Cab and 31 percent Merlot, this blend has smoothed Tannins. Not very complex probably a product of the NY Cab, but an easy drinking wine. August 2023. — 3 years ago
