  Wasn’t sure why I bought this, but after having it I remembered back to the great tasting room experience! As you would imagine, ver Riesling like. Crisp and sweet. Almost clear in color. Medium plus depth.

  This showed way younger than I expected a 6-year Rkatsiteli from NY to show. A little RS (looked up after the fact, 7 g/l), but shows dry due to high acidity, in the same way as some German rieslings do. Interesting aromatics, almost like a 70-30 riesling/sauvignon blanc, and similar on the palate. A little less leesiness than my previous bottle. No reason this wouldn't be good 10 years down the road or more.

  Drinking beautifully right now. Extremely fresh, awesome steely herbal notes, some autolytic notes with bright acidity, lemon, orange zest, white peach. Short on the finish, but that’s my only quibble. CT drinking window is off - this shows no signs of fading in the next couple years, and I’d guess a drink by date of 2025. Under screwcap.

  Lovely wine with fresh fruit, great acidity, and some underlying herbal/earthy notes. It also has an interesting interplay between a biting acidity, and yet a full mouth feel with great length. Overall a great example of what I believe is the FLX finding its place in the world. Should age awhile yet, possibly longer.

  Crisp and refreshing. Lacked flavor and fruit but was a nice pre-dinner wine. Almost white in color. Probably need to be served on the colder side. Merry Christmas!!
