Where It's From

District / Finger Lakes

View more wines from Finger Lakes

Officially established in 1982, the Finger Lakes region has a storied history of wine production in New York State and is recognized the world over. The deep glacially formed lakes offer sublime growing conditions thanks to the sloping hillsides and moderating effect the lakes have on the temperature of the surrounding area.

The main growing regions are centered around Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake (which each have their own AVAs) but quality wine is being made throughout the region. Riesling is the belle of the ball in the Finger Lakes (oftentimes being compared to the Rieslings of Germany) but success has been had with Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and others.

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain.

Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

This youthful dry riesling has a slew of floral and herbal nuances, together with delicate stone-fruit and wild-berry notes. So elegant, in spite of the full, juicy fruit on the palate. The long, wet-stone finish is racy and pristine. Made with grapes from the estate vineyard on Keuka Lake. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 12th May 2022
The 2020 Dry Riesling Eugenia comes in with three grams of residual sugar against 6.9 of total acidity and 12.9% alcohol. This is a single-vineyard selection from 1968 vines on soils with high slate content. The winery calls it their best Riesling plot. This is a surprisingly friendly wine this year, perhaps typical of the vintage. Maybe one day it will close down, but not today. It is splendid, showing off fine depth, a fruity demeanor and respectable power. As fruity as it is, it shows off a little tension on the finish too. This is very accessible this year, but it’s still likely to improve in the cellar. The winery is a strong proponent of the 2020 vintage (and they aren’t the only ones), but as impressive as this is, and granting that both are not here together, I’d take the 2019 just now. That may be slower-developing, but in a few years, a comparison will be intriguing. They are both very fine.

RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016
The 2013 Late Harvest Riesling comes in with 120 grams per liter of residual sugar and 11% alcohol. The winery said to think of it as a Beerenauslese style. About 85% of the grapes had botrytis. As delicious as this is, it is the acidity and balance that make it special, not the fruit and sugar per se. It begins with all of those peach and apricot nuances typical of the style, but then it actually gets drier in perception. The big finish is classic in flavor, but also special for its grip and persistence. Refined, transparent and fresh, it handles its richness brilliantly, never cloying for a second. It was one of my favorite dessert wines on my recent trip.
WS9494 pts. - Wine & Spirits - August 1, 2015
This is a wine with immense complexity — a wonderland of botrytis, pine, saffron, honey, peach, apricot and smoke, all in an intricate mélange. The flavors continue in a savory mode, like honey infused with garrigue herbs, but what will bring you to the next sip is the energy of the wine, its brisk, assertive movement, effortlessly supporting all the richness. An impressive performance to present at the end of the meal with goat cheese.
WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/8/2016
Wildflower honey and sun-kissed tangerines merge beautifully in this marmalade-toned Riesling. It’s lusciously sweet yet nuanced, dusted in saffron and spice and vivaciously spry. Sweet citrus flavors reverberate long on the finish.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2016
Light yellow gold of medium intensity. A beguiling combination of white peaches, honey, lemon juice, and chamomile greets the nose. The palate is quite seamless, balancing its 120 grams per liter of residual sugar with a fine and sculpting acidity. Soft and appealing in the mouth, but with a stony depth that adds interest. Though decidedly sweet, there is enough freshness and structure to earn this wine a place on the dinner table, rather than the dessert cart.

Enveloping nose of mandarin oranges, apricots and summer flowers. Very succulent with a cornucopia of ripe fruit, the power beautifully underplayed. I love the way the juiciness and the lively acidity are intertwined at the long finish. Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 12th May 2022
The 2020 Dry Riesling Margrit comes in with 11.1 grams of residual sugar and 6.3 of total acidity, plus 12% alcohol. This is sourced from a single vineyard on Seneca Lake, owned by the winery, that was planted in 2008. Typically more on the sugary side than the Eugenia, relatively speaking, this is even a bit more elevated in sugar in this big year while the acidity is a little less. It still is balanced, quite delicious and relatively transparent. It’s the one that will make everyone swoon today. Calling it a crowd-pleaser may be an understatement. Great Riesling, though, acquires that “great,” by aging effortlessly and becoming something more. It will be interesting to see how much “more” this can acquire. If I had a quibble, the wine opens with some tension, but it loses some precision and power fairly quickly as it airs and warms. It has enough acidity so it will never be flabby and enough sugar and fruit so it will always be delicious, but I’d still give the nod to the Eugenia in this report. It also left me with some doubts as to how much it might improve. It can develop, for sure, but how much is the open question. I think it is at least a step behind the 2020 Eugenia and the 2019 Margrit (not here in this report). You sure won’t regret drinking it, though. (Mark Squires)

Aromas of apricot, yellow apple and honeycomb wax drive the nose of this Riesling sourced from the winery’s Seneca Lake vineyard. It’s pleasantly soft and supple on the palate yet lifted by bright acidity, creating a cohesive experience of peach, papaya and apple flavors that ends pert and lively. (Alexander Peartree)
