  1. Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#77978

    JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    A lot of floral delicacy and lemon and lime zest, but also some good white-peach fruit behind those high notes. Good depth on the mid-palate for the challenging vintage, with some wet-stone character at the long, crisp finish. Made from fruit grown on Kueka Lake and Seneca Lake. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Delicately crafted from one of the Finger Lakes’s best known producers, this opens with a lifted aromas of white peach, lemon-lime and florals, with a honeyed underbelly. The palate is dry with a lofty line of laser-like, lemony acidity and a slightly chalky texture. Crying out flavorful fish dishes like spicy fish tacos or Thai red curry. (Christina Pickard)

    The 2021 Dry Riesling comes in with eight grams per liter of residual sugar, 7.9 of total acidity and 12% alcohol. I haven’t been liking a lot of what I’m seeing from this vintage (to be sure, there haven’t been a lot of examples yet), but this seems awfully nice. Fresh, balanced and lively, this adds a juicy, tense finish, and the fruit occasionally asserts itself. It’s elegant in the mid-palate, dancing across the tongue. I’ll be interested to see if this can hold form or improve in a couple of years, but right now it is a fine choice at a nice price point. Of course, it is a serious Dry Riesling. If you like them sweeter or fruitier, this is not for you. (Mark Squires)

  2. Heron Hill Ingle Vineyard Riesling

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#76211

    WS9292 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22
    Heron Hill submitted seven rieslings from Ingle—micro-selections of the largest vineyard on Canandaigua Lake. This one is an amalgam from the entire site, a cool, dry place that produces riesling with persistence and drive. Couched in lemon-lime flavors, this has a flinty, saline tang to the texture, the palate focused and lively.

    The 2020 Riesling Ingle Vineyard has 8.1 grams per liter of residual sugar, 8.5 of total acidity and 11.4% alcohol. You might note that you can step up from the “Reserve” Riesling to this for an extra $2. Should you? Well, I’d say yes, but reasonable minds might differ. It’s more a matter of style than quality. The Reserve Riesling is deeper and lusher, more approachable now. Many will appreciate that style. This has sharper edges and more power. The juicy finish and the tension serve this well, but don’t think it is just a mindlessly shrill wine. It is in fine balance, with a trace of sugar around the edges. It’s very tasty and almost hard to resist, even as a dry wine, but your mind is definitely saying “this needs time, this needs time” even as you reach for the bottle. I’m impressed. I’m even more interested to see how this might evolve with a few years in the cellar. It has the potential to be even more than it is today. It should age very well. (Mark Squires)

    Aromas of green apples, lime peel and white peaches. Medium-bodied with bright, persistent acidity. A charmer. Drink now.
    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2022
    Juiced peach and guava aromas meet bright lemon iced tea on the nose. It’s perky and zesty on the semidry palate, with a string of lemon honey lingering over juicy peach and apple flavors. (Alexander Peartree)

    Estate Bottled
    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#77291

    RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021
    The 2020 Dry Riesling comes in with 4.7 grams per liter of residual sugar, seven grams of total acidity and 12.8% alcohol. Rich, ripe and fruity, this exuberant Dry Riesling lacks a bit of an edge on opening, but that is mostly about perception at the moment. That is, it seems lush, deep and luscious. It tastes great. The acidity is initially hidden, while this is more fruit driven at first. I suspect in time that perception will change a bit. As a test, I kept it open for another hour, and the acidity came through much more clearly. This is still very young and was only in bottle for about nine weeks when tasted. It looks like a winner. It is worth leaning up on this for the moment. (Mark Squires)

    Bright lemony fruit mixes with lime zest and white blossoms in this zesty, dry Riesling. It offers vibrancy and lift thanks to juicy acidity, with a crushed stone note trailing off on the finish. (Alexander Peartree)

  9. Hermann J. Wiemer Dry Riesling

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#77232

    JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, April 28, 2022
    Beautiful fresh-pineapple aroma with hints of yellow grapefruit zest, candied lemon and graphite. Excellent balance of stone-fruit juiciness, medium body and citrusy freshness. Quite a compact mid-palate, then an impressive finish with mineral tension and a graphite note. Drink or hold.
    RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Apr 2022
    The 2020 Dry Riesling comes in with seven grams of residual sugar and 12.1% alcohol. This is a blend of vineyards, often a very good value in the somewhat pricey lineup. It is again. This year, in its youth, it has a touch of sugar around the edges, a friendly feel and a lush finish. It doesn’t have the steely hints that, relatively speaking, the 2019 could sometimes project, granting that they are not here together. They look the same on paper, but at least from recollection, they are at least a little different in style, feeding into the stereotypes of the 2019/2020 vintage styles. There is certainly reasonable acidity on the finish here with some tension cutting the fruit and sugar, but this is firmly in the friendly puppy style. If someone told me it was close to a semi-dry, I wouldn’t necessarily have been shocked. The very good news, though, is that it is simply delicious, likely to be a crowd-pleaser and something that will put smiles on faces at a very nice price.
