Anthony Road, Finger Lakes (New York) Riesling Off Dry 2016

 Anthony Road’s "Art Series" Riesling is a “wow” wine!  The series began in 2009 thanks to spontaneous fermentation in a single tank, and has grown into a production of many different tanks from different sites, but is still all estate fruit.  The 2016 shows amazing balance of acidity to sweetness, with a rich character that has real staying power.  The lively citrus fruit is here, but it gives way to more stone fruit, more mouthfeel and more finish.  It’s tight, bright and long, and promises a beautiful unraveling with extended cellaring.
