#Riesling

1 post1 participant0 posts today

2013 Tierce is a screwcapped blend of fruit by 3 prominent Finger Lakes wineries (see label). The 2010 was included at Obama's 2013 inauguration.

This 2013 Dry Riesling shows maturity now, the fruit more burnished, but it is still prime time and solid. The bright finish lingers, with touches of slate and stones, and tension as it warms. It's a perfect food wine.

Don't drink it too cold! It got better as it got closer to a cool room temperature. $30, 11%

Ravines, North End of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes, makes a friendly Riesling here.

With a few years to settle down, this 2016 single-vineyard is even better. Completely fresh and crisp, this is in a perfect place. It's young, lively and lingering, balanced more than intense, but there sure is some bite. No rush, but this is a great time to dive in.

12.5%, under $25.
