Tasting - Salmon Run Riesling


Name: Salmon Run Riesling

Variety: 100% Riesling

Region: Hammondsport, NY. The Finger Lakes

Country: USA

Year: 2020

Price: $9.00

Winery Review: Tropical fruit, stone fruit, hints of minerality. Off-dry, a little acidic. Light-medium mouthfeel. Slightly floral and honey aromas complimenting taste. (R.R. - 3.7).


Wine Folly: I definitely get some of the primary flavors lime and green apple, as described in the book. This Riesling does not have the petroleum flavors of most. It is much more on the fruity side of Rieslings. 


My Review: This wine smells of sour orange, green apple, and lemon zest. I also get a slight smell of sulfur and saline. It opens with a strong acidic punch, but has a nice sour citrus, frailty flavor. Specifically, nectarine, green apple, and pomegranate. Leaves a fantastically light after taste. This is a quality Riesling. I would like to pair this with white fish or a light salad.

Name: Dionysos Fileri  Variety: Moschofilero  Region: Peloponnese   Country: Greece   Year: 2021  Price: $12.00  Winery Review:   An astringent, crisp wine which pairs well with fish. Better than many higher priced Assyrtios. - (C.B 4/5).   Wine Folly:  I agree with wine folly primary flavors of Moschofilero. The book says potpourri, honeydew, pink grapefruit, lemon, and almond.    My Review: Smells like crisp green apple, citric, and grassy hay. Tastes citrusy, light body, with apple notes. Warm smooth, light body, a very refreshing wine. With a sour aftertaste. Good wine would recommend.
