August 2021 | Forge Riesling Dry Classique 2019

Our August Staff Pick is a local riesling chosen by Anne!

Anne thought this wine was a no brainer once she tried it! This New York State Riesling is one of the best she has had by far and she knew right away this was going to be her next staff pick and August was the perfect month for it as the summer is coming to an end.

“This is the beauty of Seneca Lake: to be able to consolidate the various elements of a perfectly balanced wine. Very few regions in the world provide in a natural way this perfect combination. Sorry to be so “French,” but this perfect combination is the concept of “Appellation Contrôlée.” Seneca Lake can be considered as an “Appellation Contrôlée,” simply because Riesling “makes itself” here and it expresses itself in a way that cannot be imitated in any other place in the world.” – The Winery

Combining aromas of mineral and fruit: grapefruit and violet, it delivers a balanced texture, persistent while being both long and soft.

Rated 91 pints by Wine Spectator.
“Vibrant mustard flower, white peach and chamomile notes make this white racy and vivid, with mouthwatering cut on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 9,306 cases made.”
