Forge Cellars, Seneca Lake (Finger Lakes, New York) Dry Riesling 2017

 This Riesling from New York’s Finger Lakes region is dry without being austere (the residual sugar is .3%, the alcohol 12% by volume).  The grapes were hand harvested and sorted by hand, and fermentation was spontaneous.   In the mouth the wine is uncluttered and silky, with distinct minerality and an unstinting finish.
