Riesling
New York, USA
In the German style this could be mistaken for an auslese. This honeyed behemoth has an intoxicating nose. Ripe apricot is followed by cleansing acid. This is a great bottle for a grape that is usually butchered domestically.

A nice example of Finger Lakes #FLXwine #Riesling from winemaker Eric Bilka. Racy with lime zest, grapefruit, peach blossom & yellow apple with a zesty, wet stone finish. Just a hint of residual sugar. #wine #sommelier #nywine

Aug 31st, 2014See prior reviews for full notes. Very impressive domestic resiling in the German style. Petrol on the nose was way more prevalent than I remembered. Really great and crazy QPR. ⛽️⛽️⛽️

Dec 18th, 2017My experience with Finger Lakes Resiling is that it is either to sweet or the decent offerings are more expensive than better Alsace and German wines so why bother. Not so with this bottle, enjoyed it so much I bought out the stock of my local shop. Honeyed fruit flavors and smokey petrol jump on the nose and continue on the pallet, once the smoke clears it gives way to delicate orange blossom, apricot, and herbal notes. Bright acidity in is very well balanced against the sweetness and fruit. Long viscous finish. Really great. Wouldn't normally age value Resiling or NY Resiling at that, but this strikes me as very ageable. Excited to revisit.
