Crackles with white peach, jicama, mustard flower and acacia notes. Very distinctive. The nice dry, racy finish extends nicely, too. Drink now through 2025. 107 cases made. (James Molesworth)

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.
Region / New York
Seeing as our store is located in the midst of New York's wine regions, we have a special affinity for New York wines. And so should you! New York is now producing some of the world's best Rieslings and Pinot Noirs, and there are lots of other terrific wines made from grapes like Catawba, Niagara, Cabernet Franc and others being produced here, as well. Every year, the quality, reputation, and demand for New York wines continue to soar. What are you waiting for? Uncork New York!

Fleshy, rounded aromas of Mandarin, lemon oil and yellow apple are met with a brisk crushed stone element on the nose. This dry Riesling is juicy in feel, driven by a mix of pome and citrus flavors balanced by a gentle grip of white tea. Pert, refreshing acidity lends all the lift needed to make this a great choice as an aperitif. (Alexander Peartree)
Alluring, with creamed Jonagold apple, peach and lemon curd notes allied to a sleek, racy spine. Delivers a mouthwatering feel. Drink now through 2024. 425 cases made. (James Molesworth)

This is a distinctive Riesling with lemony freshness, a minty, mushroomy undertone and a touch of volatile acidity. It’s tart, crisp and, yes, bone-dry, with some softly slippery texture, muted flavor and lifted, crunchy acidity. (Christina Pickard)

The ripe mirabelle, plum and melon aromas pour from the glass, but they remain delicate rather than lush. Quite powerful and succulent, but the crisp acidity structure keeps it on track on the very clean and subtly mineral finish, where the apricot note expands as it rolls off into the distance. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)
A stunner year over year, this single-vineyard Riesling delves into earthy aromas of fennel pollen and sunbaked field flowers, with a solid core of yellow apple, and white peach. It’s rounded and full in feel, filling out by broad pome- and stone-fruit flavors underscored by white tea and blossoms. A gentle honeycomb-wax note lends delightful grip to the dry finish. (Alexander Peartree)
Juicy and engaging, with peach, pear and mirabelle plum notes bouncing playfully off each other, while honeysuckle and anise hints peek in. Long, zingy finish. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made. (James Molesworth)
The 2020 Magdalena is in its infancy, showing a cool aromatic profile of spiced apple, lemon and a hint of orange peel. It’s expansive on the palate, with plenty of body but also plenty of acidity and phenolic structure to frame the weighty entry.
The 2020 Riesling Magdalena Vineyard comes in with seven grams of residual sugar and 12.4% alcohol. A little lighter and brighter, this doesn’t have the concentrated mouthfeel of, say, the Riesling Reserve in this report, but it is more transparent, more expressive and just seems sunnier. I could make an argument that this is the best of the group, at least today. That conclusion does require that you appreciate elegance more than concentration, but this shows beautifully. The upper-level submissions in this report all perform well, are pretty close qualitatively and may flip places as they age, but for the moment, this has some pretty good bragging points. Then, I retasted the Riesling Reserve and the HJW and started arguing with myself again. Perhaps in the end it is more a question of being different than better, with this being the most different of the three. So it goes with young Riesling. Let’s come back in five years and see what they look like with a little age. For the moment, they are all pretty fine and reasonable minds might differ. (Mark Squires)

The 2020 Riesling Ice Wine was picked on January 20, 2020, at 15 degrees, and bottled in June 2020. It comes in with 11.8% alcohol, 198 grams of sugar and 9.7 of total acidity. This, the winery is proud to point out, is a “true” ice wine — frozen on the vine, not in a freezer. Keeping its sugar under control, this aromatic ice wine offers freshness, not just cloying fruit. It does have a somewhat darker flavor profile, perhaps even a hint of reduction. That should get better. All the while, it seems remarkably concentrated in mouthfeel. This is both delicious and beautifully structured. There’s a long finish, full of flavor and surprisingly refreshing, relatively speaking. It should age quite well, probably better than indicated, but I am always conservative in such things. The price references a half bottle, from which this was tasted. There were 650 six-packs produced.
Apricot and tangerine notes burst forth in this orange zest-laced dessert wine, finishing with a flash of honeycomb. Nicely done. Drink now through 2026. 325 cases made. (James Molesworth)

The 2020 Dry Riesling Argetsinger Vineyard has just three grams of sugar, plus 8.2 grams of total acidity and 13.4% alcohol. This is another $14 per bottle over the regular Dry Riesling, but it is the better wine. It is deeper, more intense and more likely to age well. It also has the expression of fruit that the regular Dry Riesling lacks. Despite the different balance between sugar and acidity, this remains nicely balanced too, not shrill at all. Right now, this looks like one of the best I’ve seen in the brand. It drinks nicely today, but it should easily last for another 10 years, probably more. It’s a beauty right now. Let’s also hope it improves and gains anticipated nuance over the next couple of years. I’m leaning up on it today. (Mark Squires)

The 2019 Vignoles Turkey Run Vineyard comes in with 5.9 grams per liter of residual sugar, 10.8 of total acidity and 12.7% alcohol. There is teeth-rattling acidity on the finish here, but this does have enough sugar and concentration to prevent it from being impossibly shrill. You won’t think of the sugar, as the acidity makes this perceptibly dry, but it does perform the useful function of creating balance. I rather loved the balance here, not to mention the silky texture. In warm weather, this will be a wonderfully refreshing drink that wakes everyone up. It seems rather elegant as well as very fresh. It is well done, and it is poised to age well. I’m always hesitant about long drinking windows for wines like this, but it has a good chance to make me look good rather than bad. I have certainly seen some proof in years gone by that they can age. Still, this is a bit of a risky projection, but so be it. There were 150 cases produced. (Mark Squires)

This compact, tense dry Riesling delivers intense aromas of wet slate and sliced fennel bulb shot through with vibrant lime juice. Tense flavors of white cherry, crushed stone and lime are propelled along by driven acidity, showing great cohesion and depth between it all. The dry, lime-driven finish leaves you begging for the next sip. (Alexander Peartree)
Bracing, with slate, thistle, pippin apple and lime pith notes that extend through the bone dry finish. Drink now through 2025. 214 cases made. (James Molesworth)
The 2020 Dry Riesling comes in with 2.9 grams of residual sugar, 9.2 grams of total acidity and 11.4% alcohol. A powerhouse, this seems bigger in fruit than the numbers suggest, but there’s no doubt where this puts its emphasis—on the pure power. There’s plenty of acidity here. Intense and gripping on the finish, this is impressive on many fronts. It’s also so backward that it seems hard to approach now. You do need to be a little patient here. There were 197 cases produced, to be released in February, a bit ahead of some of the other submissions, but that will likely not be enough time. You’ll do better if you come back to this in 2023 (or later). It should age well, so there’s no rush, but it really needs to show better balance. It has the power of its higher-priced siblings but not their character or expression of fruit, at least not now. I’m optimistic, though. (Mark Squires)
