(Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling HJW Vineyard Finger Lakes) Shows Meyer lemon and sweet lime aromas with subtle floral, laspang souchong tea and peach notes. The peach aromas, and an interesting almost-creamy note, emerge as the wine warms to room temperature. Extremely focused, the palate is dominated by lemon-lime and green apple with a distinct almond nuttiness and more of that intriguing tea character -- particularly on the finish, which is a bit tightly wound right now. Firm, but extremely well-integrated acidity frames these flavors well, pointing at several good years ahead in bottle.
