Finger Lakes Dry Riesling 2022

Easily stacks up to Mosel Riesling. Zippy with ripe Meyer lemon and decent minerality. Just the right amount of dryness. Would absolutely devour this with a cheese plate. — 2 days ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

1990 vintage. Excellent fill and halfway saturated cork. Used a Durand but surmise a regular waiter's friend, wielded carefully, could have done the trick with the cork. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins, one hour and two hours. Some obvious sed but not troublesome or overtly noticeable. Original owner-château direct on original release. Super cold cellar because this was lagging noticeably behind other '90's and LB's. Bigger tannic structure (for a generally feminine-styled house) than anything save a Latour, Mouton, Ducru Left Bank property. Even more guts than Lynch-Bages or Pichon-Baron '90's currently stored above 55 or so degrees. Surprising but made sense. Light-medium body. Appropriate color. 3-4 years left in this stage unless larger format in play. Slight, fleeting burst of richness in the frontal palate and a tad brickish and then it just flowed on, without speed bumps. A little cocoa powder and cedar/tobacco. Suspect 750ml specimens not stored as cold/religiously will be showing more in the 9.0-9.1 range and farther down the backside of the bell curve. 10.26.24. — 12 days ago

Ravines Wine Cellars

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2022

Took a an hour or so to develop the green bell pepper note I was looking for. Smooth and balanced. Not quite the depth an old school Loire cab franc may provide, but slightly less tannic than those and easy to enjoy. Would decant next time—suspect there is more there. — 2 months ago

Finger Lakes Dry Gewürztraminer 2022

9.0

Great standby Riesling and an excellent value at ~$16-18 - a tinge sweet and leans towards the plushier, fruitier Riesling style. Very low petrol notes, tastes like honeyed green grapes, white flowers. — 2 months ago

Boundary Breaks Vineyard

No. 239 Finger Lakes Single Vineyard Dry Riesling 2017

Very impressed with this bottle. 2017 vintage and it still explodes with flavor across your tongue and down the sides dragging a solid melon, peach, and honey the whole way to the back of your mouth. The front end is very citrusy with a little white pepper. — 2 months ago

9.1

Always nice, but I prefer the Dry to the Semi-Dry. Give this a little time open in the bottle. Medium plus depth. — 2 months ago
