Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This Riesling offers aromas of bosc pear, lemongrass and lime juice, followed by whiffs of guava and white floral notes. On the palate, it shows notes of limestone, white peaches, crisp pears, orange blossom and pineapple. Mouth-filling acidity cuts through the mid-palate with lingering minerality. The finish offers lemon peel and nectarine notes.

Professional Ratings

90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Dry Riesling RTR Estate Vineyard comes in with 6.6 grams of residual sugar, six of total acidity and 12.6% alcohol. Dense and concentrated, this needs a little time to show off its good acidity. At that point, it is far more interesting, aromatic and classic. There's just a hint of sugar around the edges, but not much. There's also a slight reductive hint, but again, not much. Overall, this is nicely done, and capable of aging.

Red Tail Ridge

View all products

Red Tail Ridge is a 32 acre vineyard and winery located on the western shore of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes region of up-state New York. It is named after the two nesting pair of hawks who live in the woods surrounding the vineyard. They are our constant companions when we are working on the vines. We are a husband and wife team, so vineyard development, winegrowing, winemaking and marketing are currently divided up between us, Mike Schnelle and Nancy Irelan.

At Red Tail Ridge Winery we specialize in limited production wines because we believe that quality is more important than quantity. Keeping our production down allows us to better monitor the details of the wine making process. We produce small-lots (sometimes less than 50 cases) to further preserve and enhance the varietal characteristics that we generate in the vineyard.
