Magdalena Vineyard Riesling
More lush than expected. Honey, slate and lemon rounded on the palate (in that order). Medium plus acidity. This single vineyard vintage really is exemplary. 12.5% ABV. Paired with curried coconut shrimp and collard greens.

Oct 21st, 2016Honey, gardenia and peach nose. Slightly sweet, high acid, somewhat viscous palate due to sugar. Manages to maintain balance with some minerality/salinity. Ripe and refreshing at the same time.

May 9th, 2020Passable Riesling, equivalent to a German $20 Kabinett, but at more than twice the price. Another example of how New York State wine remains in a sorry state and is not worth drinking. Some nice white fruit flavors, complex in style, followed by a sickeningly sweet aftertaste showing the poor wine-making in the Finger Lakes. At $45, not worth buying.

Jul 30th, 2016Favorite of the three single vineyards I tasted: picture compressed shelf of shale, crunchy layers of texture & fruit, crackling acid. Finger Lakes grosses gewächs.
