Heart & Hands Wine Company, Finger Lakes (New York) Dry Riesling 2016

 The vineyards of New York’s Finger Lakes have proven to be a great source of high quality Rieslings.  The 2016 Heart & Hands Dry Riesling makes a striking impression with its fruit intensity and shows the beautiful complexity and racy appeal of the world’s best Rieslings.  The aromas are full and forward, with lovely floral scents plus hints of peach, apricot, grapefruit and Meyer lemon.  The flavors are pure and complex with the citrus and peach fruits followed by honey and spice tones.  With its ripe style, intensity of fruit and electric acidity, it is reminiscent of a dry Riesling from Germany’s Pfalz.  It is an outstanding example of Finger Lakes Riesling and well worth seeking out.
