  Wow! Has this aged beautifully! Rich, complex and sophisticated. Had with friends who couldn't believe how good it is. The dry "edge" is gone and replaced with soft fruit but nothing flabby. Held up well with a variety of foods. It may get better but this bottle was superlative.

  Drinking really well. A well made Alsatian style from a stellar vintage in the Finger Lakes.

  Nose: Green apple. Pear. Slight petrol notes. Dry. Green apple and lemon really come through on the palate. Some minerality in there. High acid. Long finish. Good little dry Riesling from the finger lakes. Would drink again.

  Aromas of creme fraiche, lime zest, salinity, ocean air, just a hint of petrol starting to show, minerality shining through. Surprising creaminess to the mouthfeel, medium body? Depth of flavor is impressive. Baked tart green apple, key lime, whipped cream, wet slate minerality. Excellent showing from Ravines, and this one should continue to develop with time, still high acidity
