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.
