New York Cork Report
-
By Lenn Thompson
(Sheldrake Point Vineyards Riesling Finger Lakes) Ripe, almost overripe on the nose with gobs of juicy, sweet peach backed by fig preserves and a little pineapple. "Big" for a riesling, it fills the mouth with more ripe flavors -- peach, pineapple, pear and golden -- with a subtle honey and fennel frond notes. Though fairly sweet (3.6% RS), that sugar is balanced nicely by the kind of acidity that often only comes in a bag on the West Coast. It's a showier, more mature style than many 2008s, but the balance is good and the finish is good-not-great as well.

Showing quite young, tropical notes dominating, but with undertones of yellow peach and sage. The mid is ripe, with a hint of late harvest fruit, and yet retaining a tang and notes of thyme. rather intriguing.
