Hillick & Hobbs
Dry Estate Vineyard Riesling
Seneca Lake, Finger Lakes, New York, USA
Uber citrus and orange blossom nose and palate. The golden yellow color makes me contemplate a heavier wine and this one is not a lightweight by any means but it nearly sparkles throughout the mouth—and yet! Then finishes heavy with a hint of petrol like one would after a long road trip filled with fast food stops. Unlike those trips though this is one to take a lot. I wouldn’t call this a heavy and down nor would I call it nervy or unnecessarily perky. Is this a wine that doesn’t need therapy? It’s cool being chill. The chills that aren’t cool with being chill aspire to be cold and they are unhappy.

Lemon, solid acid without burning, opens with patrol and slate but fades quickly. Delicious.

Simple on the nose. Floral, lemon, limestone. On the palate, nice acidity but less than expected for a dry Riesling, but welcome. A bit more body possibly from left over residual sugar, but not in a noticeable sense, which makes this a really nice hot summer day wine. Might be a new go to for BBQs.

Orange blossom honey, Meyer lemon, saline, wet limestone. Round mouthfeel. Medium- acid. Nice showing, NY.
