First wine from the Finger Lakes region! Surprisingly, this got better the more it warmed up. It toed the line between not sweet and overly sweet perfectly. Crisp acidity up front, nice and easy brioche finish. Thanks Mark!

Honey, Botrytis. Snappy acidity, broad feel. Subtle varietal character. Blind, guessed Austrian.

Apr 24th, 2016The Herman J. Wiemer vineyard is the oldest site the winery owns. Poor, gravelly soil offers good drainage and serves to limit vine vigor. As one might expect the 2012 HJW Riesling is the most austere, and notably the most acid-driven wine in the lineup. It's nervy, with a kind of twitchy energy, like a doe emerging from a lean winter. Fruit is not the foremost expression; rather there is poise, tension and intensity, along with lime pith, lovely textural minerality punctuated by saline. Sample
