Boundary Breaks Vineyard, Finger Lakes (New York) Dry Riesling 2019

 The Finger Lakes of upstate New York, and Seneca Lake in particular, are becoming better known as a great source of high quality Rieslings.  The Boundary Breaks #239 Dry Riesling is made in a dry style and has a level of zest and liveliness seldom matched by other USA Rieslings and recalls the complex and racy character of a top wine from the Mosel.  The bouquet shows lovely floral scents plus elements of green apple, lemon zest, peach and guava.  The flavors are pure and complex with the lemon, peach and tropical fruits underscored by hints of honey and spice.  Although many dry Rieslings can seem a bit too lean, the Boundary Breaks #239 Riesling shows a fine balance, with enough fruit intensity to match the high acid of the grape.  If you love good Riesling, try this wonderful rendition from the Finger Lakes.
