New York wine has come a long way from exclusively being made from native grape varieties such as Catawba, Concord, and Niagara, to the vinifera revolution beginning in the 1950’s led by pioneer Dr. Konstantin Frank. Today, New York wines of many varieties receive critical acclaim from many publications such as Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine & Spirits.
The main areas of concentration of the New York wine industry tends to be in four geographical areas: The Finger Lakes, Long Island, Chautauqua/Lake Erie, and The Niagara Escarpment. The Niagara Escarpment is a particularly new and successful home to great New York vineyards. This region along the Niagara Frontier and close to Lake Ontario has been earning rave reviews from top wine critics in recent years.
WS9090 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 10/21 Ripe and chewy, this has a gewurz like spice note to go along with pineapple fruit flavors. The wine finishes with a sour-lemon briskness. For braised white sausages.WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2021 Bright aromas of orange blossom and lily grace the nose of this Chardonnay that’s blended with a tiny amount of Traminette. The palate is ripe and juicy in flavors of pineapple and peach, cinched up by a pleasing textural grip and bright acidity. This is a solid buy for those looking for a fruity yet balanced medium-bodied white.
JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, May 12, 2021 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. The first release from David and Paul Hobbs’ riesling project in the Finger Lakes. Drink or hold.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2021 A fresh, high-pitched style, with pippin apple, fennel and lime pith notes backed by a twinge of slate on the finish. An understated style, but with purity and latent length, showing a sense of precision. Drink now through 2024. 1,847 cases made.
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2022 Enticing, with bright honeysuckle and orange blossom notes leading the way, backed by Meyer lemon, white peach and clementine flavors at the core. The racy, fresh finish has nice tension, with a quinine note lingering. Drink now through 2025. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,640 cases made. (James Molesworth)WS9292 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22 This leads with a beguiling scent of camellia and lemon, overlying a pineapple depth of flavor and granular texture. Its flavors are elegant and light, with a phenolic persistence that adds some grip. It’s a lot of wine for the price.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 21st Apr 2022 The 2019 Dry Riesling is a roughly equal blend of Seneca Lake’s 16 Falls and White Springs vineyards (with just a dollop from Keuka Lake). It’s dry (four grams of sugar, with 9.2 grams of total acidity) and comes in at 12.5% alcohol. This drinks well, perhaps thanks to having that extra year of bottle aging. The acidity, though evident, is well integrated and countered by the fruit. There’s plenty of power, but it is never shrill. The juicy finish is also filled with fruit. This is a super Dry Riesling and a nice bargain. It should age well and develop more, but it is going to be hard to resist this summer. (Mark Squires)
WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2022 Aromas of grilled cherry, toasted sage and coconut lean a little heavy on the oak, but the pretty fruit is still apparent. Flavors of tart black cherry and red plum are wrapped in toasted oak and sweet spice accents, with a glossy texture giving a pleasing frame. (Alexander Peartree)
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021 The 2019 Dry Riesling “Margrit” comes in with 7.39 grams of residual sugar and 9.7 of total acidity, plus 12.8% alcohol. That is dry. This is sourced from a single vineyard on Seneca Lake, owned by the winery, that was planted in 2008. The winery says the site is somewhat warmer than their Keuka Lake properties, producing a riper wine. A big step up over the last I saw, this has power but also a juicy finish that displays fine fruit. As powerful as it is, it not just an acid-freak wine. That long finish is gripping and tense. The aromatics are powerful too, while the mid-palate is simply solid. This food-wine Riesling shows every sign of improving over the next decade. It may have layers yet to reveal. Giving it a year or so of cellar time would be a good idea.
SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2021 Charming, with silky-textured blood orange and red tea notes, lined with a subtle mineral twinge on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 511 cases made.
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2021 Concentrated aromas of lemon oil, peach, pine and struck flint grace the nose of this single-vineyard Riesling. It’s rounded and full in feel on the palate, filled out by juicy orchard fruit flavors yet expertly honed by zesty acidity and a delicate grip of white tea. A lemon oil tone lingers on the finish, but with ample lift and length.
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2021 Concentrated tones of apple, white grapefruit, citrus perfume and peach make for a deep well of aromas on the nose. There’s real depth to the palate, where a gentle, pithy texture is lifted by juicy pome and stone fruit. It has an almost oily feel, yet that texture is quickly put to rest by the pervasive drive of the zesty acidity. It’s one to sip, savor and, if you can, cellar. Drink now–2030.
RP8787 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021 The 2019 Cabernet Franc was aged in a mixture of 20% new barrels (mostly American and French) for nine months. It comes in at 12.7% alcohol. Tight and focused, this has some herbs around the edges and some power on the finish. The aromatics are good but seeming derived mostly from the new wood, which follows through onto the palate. A bit of aeration brings it into good balance, leaving a lean but rather precise wine. This will require a food pairing to show its best. Overall, this is a nice success at a reasonable price point. It has some chance to improve with another year in the cellar. (Mark Squires)
