Finger Lakes Riesling


This is the *Dry* Riesling 2002 and at 23 years it’s still very good. Mature for sure but with its faculties intact. There’s a pretty big buzz about Finger Lakes Riesling these days but excellent wines there were made way back then and earlier as well.

Oct 10th, 2025My 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.

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.
