The nose is a stunner, showing aromas of Golden Delicious apple, Bartlett pear, peach, honey, fennel frond, green melon and delicate floral notes.

Round and weighty, the palate shows intensely ripe fruit and similar flavors — peach, pomme fruit and melon — with a slight bruised-apple note. Though sweet, it’s balanced by delicate acidity that keeps it from being cloying. The light herbal and floral notes are a bit hidden, but emerge as the wine warms a bit.

Tart apple, candied lemon peel, slate, honey and hints of butterscotch & dried apricot. Good acidity and balance.

Outstanding. Lots of botrytis but light on its feet.

2016. Wrong bottle to pull on a warm evening. Drinks WAY too easily. Tasty glug glug. Nice acid. Super friendly in this warm weather. Off dry/late harvest. 12% abv.

Honeycrisp apples, ripe stone fruit, and slate. Good acid and minerality.

Lime zest on stones with tropical fruits, luxurious body, and perfect acidity. Absolutely lovely.

Petroleum & apple nose, initially very sweet with apple & pear fruit to taste and a little carbonation, finished more acidic and refreshing. Good with crying tiger spicy beef!

Nice off dry Riesling from NY Finger Lakes region. Classic tree fruit - apple, pear and peach with white flowers, honey and a hint of petrol.
