It’s crisp semi sweet apple and peach goodness could pass for a Dr. Loosen Spatlese on the front. Falls short after that. But impressive. Go Finger Lakes!

Pear, apple, pithy lemon, candied citron, dried apricot and hints of peach. Great acidity and balance.

Picked this bottle up at the winery on a FLX region exploration trip about two years ago, drinking well tonight.

Nose is candied citrus, wet slate, honey and spring tree flowers.
Palate has sweet apple, pineapple, medium RS level, medium acidity, medium minerality with nice finish.

A great QPR for $13-14, plus a good FLX vintage. Nice to be able to compare the Dry to the Semi-Dry this evening.

Definitely one of my fav FLX Rieslings! Lemongrass, peach, citrus and a bit of floral notes. Always cheers me up on lonely evenings in the office

Citrus peel, tangerine, tart pear and floral notes on the nose. The citrus and pear continue onto the palate with some delicate notes of apricot and flint. Drink now or easily age for the next 10 years (2025)

Star bright, nearly water clear in the glass. Quince, straw, and dried flowers on the nose. Echoed on the palate adding a bit of dry honey. Medium plus acidity (doesn’t hit until back palate and finish), medium body, medium long finish. All of (North American) Riesling’s character to satisfy Riesling nerds, just dry enough for those who think they should’ve “graduated” from “sweet wines” and a mouth-watering backbone of acidity that freshens without searing off your gums. White fleshed fish in a cream sauce or a Waldorf salad with baked chicken breast would be nice. Roasted pork loin would be natural.
