February 19, 2022 - Cool, lemony melons with a touch of sweetness, rounded into something more crystalline with the few years time. Shines right now but no rush here. Crazy stupid value.
July 24, 2021 - From magnum. This showed really well with the few years of age on it, and I'd say it definitely improved with that time, seemingly to balance the acids and deliver a rounder mouthfeel.
May 31, 2020 - Holding up very well. Would buy this again.
April 4, 2020 - Coravin pour over 2 days with a variety of foods: massaman curry with cabbage, potato, onions, carrots, coconut milk and garbanzo beans (a rare, vegan meal) and 4-cheese mac and cheese.
Notes of pear, lemon, tangerine, honeysuckle, spice.
Drink now. Was good value for $14.
January 4, 2020 - Probably waited to long to enjoy this vintage.
November 16, 2019 - The twin’s 2nd Birthday!! Magnum from one of my favorite Finger Lake wineries! Hit the spot amongst the chaos :)
March 16, 2019 - Great fruit, nice acidity on a balanced frame. Very pleasant mouth feel.
August 25, 2018 - Straw in color with hints of green.
Nose: Lime, wet stone, menthol, petrol/TDN. Reserved, cool projection.
Mouth: Sweet lime, pear, white flower. Palate kicks off with a tingling acidity that's taken over by the very smooth, lush and wet pear/lime. Zippy acidity against the backdrop of the sugar here feels almost effervescent.
Overall: High in quality, the mouthfeel especially is excellent. This is still sweeter than I'd like a in a dry riesling, but is put together well enough that I don't mind, overall a really nice package. 100% Riesling.
90.
November 22, 2017 - From magnum. Showing better today from magnum than it was from 750 back in January. Reasonably generous aromas of spiced pear, grilled pineapple, and tangerine with similar flavors appearing on the well-balanced palate. Medium acid and a medium(-)-length finish.
Still a lower concentration and in general a lower-quality wine than the '15 or '16 iterations. Nevertheless, enjoyable and recommended if you can find it. "Very good," 88/100.
