Dr. Konstantin Frank
Reserve Finger Lakes Riesling
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.
