I’m not a white fan in general but this was very good. Not too sweet, slightly buttery, & with good complexity. — 3 years ago

Cherry notes and flirty. Great for a summer day if you find Surah top heavy. Lovely buttery aftertaste. Go New York! — 8 years ago

Whitecliff Vineyard & Winery Reserve Riesling 2013, New York

My first New York State Riesling, and what a nice surprise.

Pale gold in color with a light yellow hue.

Wonderful nose of tropical fruits, spices, lemons, gooseberry, white flowers, citrus and minerals.

Medium to full-bodied with a great mouth feel and buttery. Medium plus acidity with great legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with lemons, tropical fruits, bananas, coconut, cream, minerals and salt.

Long finish with white pepper and almonds.

Smooth, elegant and enjoyable by itself and Very well balanced. Just wonderful.

This is my first Finger Lake wine, and it is wonderful. Hopefully this continues...

The grapes are from the Hudson Valley, and fermentation is made in Stainless Steel. Vegan wine too.

12% alcohol by volume. — 8 years ago

Just short of a 90 for me ... but one of the best Hudson Valley reds I’ve tasted. Pleasant nose, a little bite of tannins at the front, but a really pleasant and long lingering finish. Maybe needs another year. Overall a good value and if you can get to the vineyards - the view is spectacular! — 5 years ago

Elegant and developed. Soft, tannins and despite the age there is a brightness to the fruit. Nice to see NZ do well at something 15 years down the road. — 8 years ago
