If you are a fan of Riesling, load up!
Or, if you've been curious about why others are so passionate for Riesling, you need to try this Finger Lakes phenom.
In its first release, Paul Hobbs continues his craft of making world-class wine (a la, his namesake wine in California, Vina Cobos in Argentina, and Crocus in Cahors, France).
A German look-a-like, the minerality and structure of this Riesling is bone dry, mouthwatering, and elicits a mouth-puckering Pavlovian response like we've never experienced.
Such an expressive nose of white peaches, nectarines, mandarin oranges, white flowers and vanilla. Grows with each swirl of the glass. Intensely mineral and racy palate that feels lighter than it is, because it's so precise and vibrant, the lime and mineral freshness making the long, dry finish mouthwatering." James Suckling
We love this wine's complexity.
We love this wine's vibrancy and high-pitched style.
We love this wine's versatility.
This is not a sweet Riesling; it offers something for everyone and is a phenomenal warm weather white.
Pair with light meats such as duck and chicken; it will shine with Asian cuisine and spices.
Enjoy now - and stash some in the cellar!
