Description
In a nutshell:
A superb, bone dry and earthy Riesling from the Finger Lakes region of New York State.
The lowdown:
California and the West Coast account for most US wine seen over here, but New York state has also been producing for a number of years. Quantities are not huge and little of it has, hitherto, been exported. This Riesling from Forge Cellars is in a different style to Alsace, German or Antipodean versions; they keep the sugar levels right down so their wines can justly be described 'bone' dry. This is actually quite a weighty example and has lovely subtle fruit flavours of candied lemon, apricot peel and pear with complex spice and earthy notes. Hints of anise join the salinity to give an impeccable freshness.
When to drink:
Something of real interest for Riesling lovers that's well worth trying.
