I tried both the 18 and 19 and liked both, but bought the 18. I was surprised to like the 18 more given the vintage, but I guess that’s why we shouldn’t assume before tasting!

Reminds me of Phalz/Alsace with its oily texture, richer character, and slightly diminished acid. Very petrol and mineral with the fruits almost in a supporting background role. Very cool and certainly of high quality. Makes you want to drink more Finger Lakes wines

Actually disappointed. Balance fruits/acidity is lacking. Too sweet. Not structured.

Green apple, pineapple, and petrol on the nose. Balanced in the mouth, rich with nice acidity. Spicy finish but wish it were longer. Drink now through 2019.

Pineapple and apple on the nose. Nice weight but a little lackluster on the finish. #Riesling #NY

#fingerlove. Balanced and elegant. Great structure but a youthful closed baby.

Strong on the nose with peaches, lemons/limes, and bright citrus. Some mineral like flavors, almost like stones but nice balances to the heavy fruit. I would definitely say give it a try.
