Nathan K, Finger Lakes (New York) Dry Riesling 2017

 The vineyards of New York’s Finger Lakes have proven to be a great source of high-quality Rieslings.  The 2017 Nathan K 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 lime, peach, apricot and grapefruit.  The flavors are pure and complex with the citrus and peach fruits followed by citrus peel and spice tones.  With its pure and juicy style, intensity of fruit and electric acidity, it is reminiscent of a dry Riesling from Germany’s Mosel.  It is an outstanding example of Finger Lakes Riesling and well worth seeking out.
