| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 12/30/2023 & rated 93 points: Another fantastic showing. Pale straw color. Explosive bouquet of minerals and green apple with some slate and stone. Concentrated flavors of tart Granny Smith apple, minerals, Stone, slate. Tons of acidity. Long finish. Outstanding qpr. A great dry Riesling. Enjoyable now this should be long lived. 8.9% abv. The great food wine but fans of Riesling will enjoy sipping on it too (773 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 12/2/2023 & rated 93 points: Absolutely fantastic. Much more youthful than the last bottle. Green apple, red apple, peach, flint, mineral, slate stone. Good acidity and good balance. Dry and really good to go with food but has such nice balance you could even sip on it by itself. Drinking well now this will likely be in its current state best till 2031. It should last much longer but will change into a older mature style whistling with a different flavor profile (668 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 11/24/2023 & rated 91 points: Another great showing. This was from a bottle that was not properly stored left out in a place where it was not temperature controlled and exposed to light but it was still very good but did start to have a little hint of petrol. Still another great bottle of dry wrestling and I think this will really age well. I think for those who appreciate the way it tastes now it needs to be consumed by 2026 but for those who are like me and also appreciate old wrestling you can let this go for at least 10 to possibly 20 years past the Vintage. This shows that good quality New York State racing can hang with the big boys from the likes of Germany (604 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 10/31/2023 & rated 93 points: OUTSTANDING. This can run with the top notch West coast and German Rieslings. Pale straw color. Intense juicy fruit bouquet of peach, pear, melon, floral notes and a hint of dry honey. On the palate, excellent concentration with lots of minerality, slate, stone with juicy fruit flavors and flavors of peach liqueur, melon, tart apple, dry honey, mineral, slate with a long peach mineral finish with great acidity. Delicious. Great QPR. A sleeper. Enjoyable now and should have this flavor profile for at least a few more years. Can age much longer but will change into an older Riesling style. Hard to tell how long the current flavor profile will last until that transition (584 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 10/7/2023 & rated 93 points: Outstanding crisp dryer Riesling with great minerality and complexity. Drinking beautifully now. It should last a long time. Excellent qpr. (527 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 5/21/2023 & rated 92 points: Light straw color. Nice bouquet of minerals Flint, Apple. Medium-bodied with a juiciness to the fruit but very dry. Really well balanced. Excellent acidity with good fruit. Nice flavors of Apple with some hints of Peach and pear minerals Stone Flint salinity. Dry. Well balanced. Good concentration. Nice complexity. Really top notch. Drinks beautiful yeah you should evolve over time (589 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 3/30/2023 & rated 93 points: 93+. Pale straw color. Explosive bouquet mineral, slate, stone, melon, peach pit, tropical notes. Light to medium bodied. Concentrated flavors of melon, peach, granny smith apple, salt, mineral, slate, wet stone with a long fruit acidic finish with minerals and salt. Drinks beautifully now and can be enjoyed but with the flavors, structure, balance it has a long life ahead of it with a lot of evolution. Killer QPR. Cellar selection. A must have. I hope they keep making this. On par with top notch German and Californian Riesling. Dry to off dry. Just delicious. (413 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 1/7/2023 & rated 92 points: Steel mineral crisp good fruit. Tighter than previous tastings (632 views) | | | Tasted by Scott Jaffa on 12/31/2022: Delicious. Enjoyed drinking it. (140 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 11/26/2022 & rated 93 points: Lots of slate, mineral, salt, acidity, Apple. Dry. Excellent food wine (642 views) | | | Tasted by Yako (New Haven Vino Club) on 11/7/2022 & rated 87 points: Pale lemon in color,
On the nose: Intensity is Medium+, with primary aromas of Peach, Apricot, Nectarine, Green apple, Green Pear, Honeysuckle, and lastly some slight secondary aromas of cheese, it is youthful.
On the palate: Dry, with high acidity, alcohol is medium+, body is medium, with a medium+ intensity.
Primary flavors of: Peach, Nectarine, Lemon, Lime, Green apples &b Apricots.
Finish is Medium.
I would assess this Riesling as just being good, as it lacks tension and punch, you can drink now with enough acidity for further aging.
87-88 (280 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 11/5/2022 & rated 93 points: 93-94++. Juicy yet bone dry. Lots of slate minerals and acidity with good nice heart apple fruit with some hints of peaches and pears. Long finish. Great balance. Drinks well now but as the acidity drop some I think it will likely show even more complexity and possibly be even better. Off to a great start. Highly recommended. Tasted several times already (634 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 11/4/2022 & rated 93 points: Another great showing. This is really fantastic stuff. Drink now or age. (629 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 11/1/2022 & rated 93 points: Killer. Dryer style. Great Apple mineral pear and peach flavors. More along the Apple side. Great minerals acidity. Great food wine. Excellent qpr. (620 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 10/13/2022 & rated 93 points: 93-94+. While still outstanding, the acidity has become much more prominent muting some of the flavors. Still has lots of flavors and complexity. Pale straw color. Peach/apple tart bouquet. Juicy ripe tart apple flavors with loads of minerals, slate, salt and acidity with some tart peach flavors. Long salty mineral acidic fruit finish. Delicious. Great food wine now with the amazing acidity. Drink now to 2031 easily. Not knowing its track record, I don't know if it can age longer, but it tastes like it should. Highly recommended. Must try. Cellar selection. GREAT QPR (632 views) | | | Tasted by Adam Pritzker on 6/16/2022 & rated 95 points: 94-96. WOW!!!! I thought the 2020 was excellent. This just crushes it. We need more good kosher Riesling and this delivers the goods. Distinctly Mosel in style. Pale very light gold color. Explosive dried peach, candied peach, melon, tropical fruit , Bartlett pear bouquet lures you in and lets you know you are in for something special. Medium bodied but yet light and refreshing with explosive flavors of dried peach, talc, slate, melon, tropical notes, dried honey, dried Bartlett pear with nice long fruit filled acid and juicy fruit finish. Amazingly delicious now, it will age well, but most likely people will consume it in its delicious youthfulness. AMAZINGLY DELCIOUS. INSANE OFF THE CHARTS QPR (Riesling doesn't get the respect it deserves) (outside of a rare few wines - hagafen rieslings some sauvignon blancs- there are very few whites in this price range with this over the top quality). While its dry and a great food wine, the fruit and flavors are so fruity, juicy and smooth that one could easily enjoy it by itself, A must have. Cellar selection. Don't walk, run. I would love to see them make a kosher late harvest TBA (trockenbeerenauslese) style and a Riesling Ice Wine (613 views) |
| Sheldrake Point Producer websiteRiesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.New York Uncork New York!
