strawberry and bubble gum. some tannins on the finish and something artificial that i can’t say i don’t like but seems unnatural. — 4 years ago

one of my favorites on Seneca these days. nice body with an acidic finish. not as fruit forward as i would expect and i get a nose of some brett or some kind of flaw which is not a bad thing here on the taste but is a bit funky with what’s left in the glass. — 4 years ago

sensational! Rare grape for the finger lakes and Julia Rose has taken it and made something special out of this. Lots of citrus, peach and a really crisp finish. Love it — 4 years ago

well here i am nearly five years later having forgotten all about this wine - and come to see i have had this before and am still the only reviewer of this wine, now living in the flx and randomly found this gem again - this the 2017 varietal - i like the citrus fruit and crisp acidic finish. A grape that is normally not done in a dry style but this works here. Well done - again. — 4 years ago

love this. Pear on the nose with wonderful minerality clean and smooth finish which impresses me given this is a dry style riesling to get the finish so lush and soft. — 4 years ago
