Unusually dense and luscious, even for Forge! Honey, apricot, pineapple, blood orange flavors all over the mid palate. Good balance of acid backbone and rounded contours on the finish. Very effusive and powerful wine.

Landing their 2018 Classique as #31 on Wine Spectators best of 2020 list inspired me to open a 2018 of my own. This is the Sunrise Hill vineyard. They take dry riesling to another level. Aged in Neutral Oak with a natural fermentation. Perfectly balanced with a complex body and mouthfeel and a crisp albeit short finish that leaves you longing for more. Superb.
