Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, HJW Vineyard Riesling 2013, Finger Lakes, New York

Tasting Note: An aged Finger Lakes riesling that shows the grape has ageability potential in New York state.

Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has a medium-plus-intensity, aromatic nose of tart-green apple slice, bosc pear, lemon-citrus peel, quince, guava, blossom and white peach.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied riesling has a creamy texture with medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose.

The wine is medium in acidity with a round mouthfeel supported by an undercurrent of citrus.
