Argetsinger Vineyard Dry Riesling
Really interesting nose. Confectionary sugar, some foxey notes? There is something off putting that could be upstate NY terroir as I've smelled it before. Ripe, juicy and searingly mineral with some interesting flavors and freshness. Very good. Great complexity and mouthfeel.

Apr 27th, 2016Petrol, wet gravel, brilliant and racy acid-and lots of it-lemon zest, golden apple. Ready now but will improve for several years. A steal at $28. 12.5% abv.

Feb 1st, 2016Best dry Riesling I have ever had in the Fingerlakes- the acidity is high but is well balanced and has a long finish - FLX residents will know this is like having a really good NYS apple I. A glass- hats off to Sam Argetsinger and Morten Halgren

Jan 1st, 2016Blind, I was in Austria. Dry. Mineral, apples, hints of Botrytis. Faint diesel notes. Wonderful with black-truffled quinoa "risotto" (cooked with a snappy dry Riesling).

Nov 24th, 2015This gorgeous wine (in a magnum) could have stayed in the cellar and still been perfect in ten years. Petrol and lemon rind, beautiful salinity and minerality. Yum yum!

Nov 25th, 2018Really top notch. Acid is balanced with fruit. Can really last at least a decade.

Jan 9th, 2017Bone dry. Lemon and lime zest, musk melon and Bosc pear. A surprisingly long finish after it had a chance to open up after being resolutely shy at first.
