Dry Finger Lakes Riesling

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)

Yellow fruit, white stone, dry.

Bruised yellow fruit, agave, citrus acidity.

One word: petrol 🤤

Nose has cold green table grapes, tart green apple slice, wet slate, distant petrol, lime peel, under-ripe peach slice and dried tangerine peel.

Palate has dried lime, sweet green apple slice, slate gravel, under-ripe peach, under-ripe pear, bright acidy, medium finish. As the label states, (very) dry. Future bottles should be 2027+

Tart, juicy lemon with some apricot and white peach on the long, lovely finish.

Tart but not too intense. No annoying aftertaste. Easy to drink but not weak. Wonderful stuff

This wine is just delightful. Finger Lakes Rieslings are on another level.

2017. Always reliable from this winery. Bright and subtle. Paired nicely with California rolls. Easy to sip but overwhelmed with stronger flavors. Maybe lacks a bit of the Riesling zippiness but still very enjoyable.
