I’ve had several bottles now of this delicious “Finger Lakes GG.” All sorts of minerals and damp limestoney earth (much like in Chablis) on the nose. Some crisp appley fruit. Dry, intense, clingy, and minerally in the mouth. Deep fruit as well. Long and so well balanced. Grazie, fratello!

From my brother’s stash, such a beautiful Finger Lakes Riesling. More German GG than Alsace GC. Nose has bright apple fruit, with a fleeting note of almost ripe peach, green herbs, clover, and a minerality that reminds me a bit of Chablis because of a little brothy note. Perfect balance in the mouth: fruit, acids, minerality, alcohol. Lip-smacking long finish, and bone dry throughout.

Structured and concentrated but racy; petrol-forward; fruit is plenty ripe but there is a green, herbal component; sort of harsh but the finish brings a softer, honeyed note. A bit lacking for pleasure now, but very interested to revisit this a couple years down the line.

Apple blossom, honey, a green herbal note, and loads of crushed slate. Nice fruit/ mineral balance in the mouth. Enters light then feels weightier, nice, long, lip-smacking acid/mineral finish. Distinctive.

Light petrol, bright citrus and stone fruit acidity. More please!

Beautiful aroma of white flowers, pears, crushed mint. Super floral and expressive nose. Green and taut. Tart. Green plum, a little white pepper; subtly astringent. Slight petrol. Lean but resonant.

Old world styled excellence from the finger lakes. Bone dry with whiffs of petrol. Hard not to consider Rheingau or Rheinhessen when nosing this one !

Some of this came home with me. Their single vineyard Riesling is so special!
