2015 Ravines Wine Cellars Riesling Dry Argetsinger Vineyard, USA, New York, Finger Lakes, Wine Review

Apparently, this is one of the highest rated wines from the Finger Lakes region. it is quite good and fairly priced at $30.Light yellow in color. The nose has a slight petrol note and nice minerality. A bit of lemon oil as well. On the palate, this has nice acidity. Fresh lemon fruit. Some depth with underlying minerality. Good finish. It would work with a wide variety of foods including Thai and spicy foods. It seems like it is starting to just show some age but should easily last a decade or more.

This is one of the priciest Finger Lakes region Rieslings. It is a nice wine, but there isn't really any value here. Light silvery gold in color. The nose is lemony with nice fruit. It is holding onto its youth quite nicely. On the palate, this has a candied quality that is nice. While it is dry, there is a feeling of sweetness and perhaps just a hint of it on the palate. The finish has a bit of a bitter grapefruit note that was noted in a few of the Finger Lakes Rieslings. Food friendly. This should be good for ten years or so but its unclear if it will improve or just hold.

198 refers to the clone type that was used for this wine. 8.3% Alcohol. It is very much in the Spatlese style of Riesling and at a tasting, was my favorite wine. Pale, silvery gold in color. The nose is nice with petrol and minerals. It is curious why it shows petrol a such a young age but the wine is otherwise young and fresh. On the palate, this is sweet and approaches cloying but falls short of that. A pineapple juice quality to it. Enough acidity to carry it off. Long finish. This would be great with Thai or other spicy Asian cuisines. It is fairly priced and is likely to dri

My first time trying this wine. It is Paul Hobbs venture into the Finger Lakes and it is delicious. Light green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with oranges, slight canned peaches and a floral note. A bit of minerality as well. Medium bodied, slightly viscous texture. On the palate, tart oranges, slight lemon-lime, and some underlying minerality. Excellent acidity. Refreshing. Nice finish. This will work with almost any food, but it worked great with soft cheeses. World class Riesling. Drink over the next ten to twelve years, but it will probably go twice that

Silvery green in color. The nose has a mineral nose with some green apples. On the palate, this has some tannins which is interesting. The green apples carry thru as well some citrus on the palate. Dry (6 grams per liter). Good finish. This seems very tight right now and could probably use some air. Seems like it should improve for a couple of years and be good for a decade. Very food friendly.

10.5% ABV. Light green gold in color. The nose is already showing some light diesel along with a bit of peach. On the palate, this has a nice oily texture. It is better on the palate with a lemon candy note. Slightly bitter on the finish. This has good acidity and is off dry. The two seem to balance each other out well. It will work with a wide variety of foods but certainly Thai would be at the top of the list.
