2013 Bedell 'First Crush' White, North Fork of Long Island. Blend of Chardonnay, Riesling & Sauv Blanc. Only 11.5 abv. A fresh #summer white with green apple, cantaloupe and lime peel notes. Crisp and zesty. The way summer should taste. #wine #sommelier #nywine @bedellcellars

I really enjoyed this wine when I went to North Fork! I purchased a bottle of it and can't wait to get back to purchase another one.

Berries, limes, and surprisingly thick, not crisp. Very smooth

Citrus nose. Great acidity. Big bang of flavor, followed by some minerality. Really jumps back and forth with citrus flavors (orange and tangerines).

Crisp, floral aromas with notes of green apple, citrus and peach. Bright and slightly creamy on the palate. Fresh flavors of green pear and apple with underlying stone and mineral notes and a clean, easy finish.
