Tasting Notes

The flagship Dry Riesling from Red Newt, our goal is to make a dry Riesling suitable for everyday drinking that also has the interest and complexity to reward aging. A dry Riesling that is both savory and fruity, opulent and refreshing; everything we revere in dry Riesling from around the world. Intense and intriguing smoky notes on the nose evolve to grapefruit peel with time, both of which lead to a rich mid-palate that features exotic fruit while still being steely and dry through the finish

Wine Advocate

91 points || The 2017 Dry Riesling, not to be released until September 2019, was sourced from Lahoma Vineyard on Seneca Lake. It comes in with just two grams per liter of residual sugar, 7.1 grams of total acidity (higher than the 2015) and 12.6% alcohol. As in the past, winemaker Kelby Russell said that they intentionally left it a bit smoky on the nose during fermentation and via lees aging "to support the fullness of fruit that develops with bottle age." Also, as in the past, there happily isn't all that much smoke. This is the big bargain in the 2017 lineup this year. It doesn't leave out much. It shows good concentration and fine structure—it seems a little more aggressive than some others, actually—and an excellent finish. This is a nice overachiever just now. It has the added bonus of being inexpensive and available. That's a hint. It should age well too.

Wine Enthusiast

90 points || This dry Riesling displays ample depth on the nose in waves of ripe apple, peach and tangerine. Broad orchard fruit flavors are accented by tangy orange on the palate, with a gentle grip of white tea lending support. - ALEXANDER PEARTREE
