Fox Run Vineyards, Finger Lakes (New York) Riesling 2016

 The Finger Lakes of upstate New York are becoming better known as a great source of high quality Rieslings and this wine shows why.  The Fox Run Lake Dana Riesling shows the beautiful complexity and racy appeal of the world’s best Rieslings.  The bouquet reveals lovely scents of white flowers, green apple, lemon zest, peach, honey and guava.  The flavors are deliciously pure and complex with the citrus and apple fruits underscored by honey and spicy tones.  There is residual sugar in the wine but it is perfectly balanced. The razor’s edge of Riesling acidity not only mollifies the sugar, but also makes the complex flavors all the more vivid and appealing.  If you love good Riesling, do not miss the chance to sample the best bottlings from the Finger Lakes.
