My first Finger Lakes Riesling and I’m super impressed. Plush tree fruit and sweet citrus with some steely minerality. Juicy med+ acid balanced with a touch of RS make this quite quaffable.

Pear, lemon zest, slate, apple and hints of petrol and dried apricot. Great balance and acidity.

Nice sugar/acid balance, but could use more flavor intensity.

Excellent white from our favorite Finger Lakes winery. Full of butter and fruit with the signature honeysuckle hints from the region. Pairs well with chicken and cheese. Highly recommended.

This is the dry Riesling. Quite good. Tropical fruits etc, some acid. Nice example of a simple but enjoyable FLX Riesling.
