Wine Review: This yellow colored Dessert wine from the Finger Lakes is very good. It opens with a musty wet grass and pear bouquet with a hint of honey. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and sweet. The flavor profile is a tasty mild apricot and orange blend with notes of ginger and toasted almond. The finish is sweet and fades away nicely. The Panel suggested enjoying this wine on its own. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The final, 100% botrytis picks from our Magdalena Vineyard evince the structure, topicality, and mouth-coating waxiness we associate with that site's other Riesling picks. At the extreme sugar concentration achieved with additional hangtime, the Noble Select picks from this site are spice-rich and acid-driven. A citrus flower and ginger nose open for densely packed flavors of yellow apple crumble and mango puree. This wine will cellar comfortably for decades. To enjoy now, we recommend cheese and charcuterie plates or peach pie.
