  Apricot, white peach, pear, and lime on the nose with a burst of sweetness almost like honey at first taste that could easily be overwhelming if it weren't so well balanced with the acidity. Really well layered and flavorful. This one's a new favorite!

  I am a long time fan of German Riesling. NY Finger Lakes Riesling is something I have always wanted to try as some people swear by them. I wasn't disappointed. This wine has a touch of sweetness, as advertised, with lots of fruit notes such as pear, lemon lime citrus, peach, and a touch of vanilla bean. I was not bothered by the sweetness as it was not too much and was nicely balanced out by the citrus notes. Bravo Nova!

  Nova FL Riesling ’20 5Y FAV
  August 2021
  YUM.
  Opened last night...will review in a couple days
  
  OK - getting around to reviewing - in mid-September.
  First eveninig, paired with: caprese drizzled with Key Lime balsamic - smooth, off-dry, moderately tart :-) ; crab cake (a bit spicy) - slightly sweet over the spicy-heat; corn on the cob - soft, smooth, lightly dry with sweetness seeping through.
  
  Second evening: alone and cold - grapefruit tartness; with caprese drizzled with fig balsamic - a little more off-dry than previously with key lime balsamic; grilled salmon - softer, no tartness; TJ's multigrain sourdough - grapefruit tart sweetness (like a pink grapefruit???)
  
  Third night: Doing a side-by-side with the Reserve: Alone, cold - off-dry, lemony;
  with the Kale-Squash soup - softer, faint lemon
  
  Finished off bottle with a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie - DELICIOUS!!!!
  
  Thank you, Nova! <3
