2015 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese, Germany, Nahe, Wine Review

Vintage: 
2015
Score: 
95
Grade: 
A

If you like sweet Rieslings, this is a fantastic wine.  At age 11, it is in a great space with years left.  Medium golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has peaches, flint, pineapple, and lime.  Medium bodied.  Slightly viscous.  Great acidity.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Slightly sweet.  Flavors of lime/citrus, minerality, peach and slight pineapple.  Long finish.  This is very food friendly and will work with most foods.  Thai food would be a perfect match.  drink over the next twenty years.  

2023 Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling HJW Vineyard, USA, New York, Finger Lakes, Seneca Lake, Wine Review

Vintage: 
2023
Score: 
93
Grade: 
A

One of the  better Finger Lakes producers.  HJW Vineyard is about 50 years old.  Pale straw in color, clear and bright.  The nose is deep with aromas of green apples, slight "wet rocks", and a bit of chalkiness.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, this is dry.  Slightly crisp.  Flavors of green apples and minerality.  Some depth.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own but will work with almost any food. This will work well with Pasta Primavera.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.
