The Hickory Hollow Wine Cellars Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes, NY) $18 [Very Good] is a very well made wine, with solid restrained flavors and a mineral bent. Lemon/lime lovers can sip this wine. Others should drink it with food.
Medium lemon yellow in color, the aromas are tart, with scents of lemon/lime, green apple, dried apricot and smoky mineral. Medium bodied, off dry to medium dry, with a pleasantly textured mouth feel and high acidity, balance is very good. Flavors of lemon/lime, green apple, dried apricot, nut oils, and a strong mineral component have good concentration, purity, and focus. The wine has a nicely restrained personality. The finish is balanced, lightly lip smacking, with good length. September 2017
