Standing Stone Vineyards, Riesling 2014, Finger Lakes, New York
Tasting Note: Golden in color, this off-dry Riesling has the nose of a basket of fresh-picked green apples and just-ripened peaches kissed by lazy summer afternoon sun.
These aromas are followed by the gentle essences of baking spices dipped in chalk (this is a good thing- trust me).[Read more]
