Product details

Among the best-value wines produced in New York, the Classique Riesling from Forge is elegant and accessible, with charming, concentrated floral and stone fruit notes on the nose. While it does not have the thrilling tension of the single-vineyard bottlings, there is finesse to spare, and the finish lingers pleasantly on the palate. The process starts with tank-fermenting all the odd lots that don't fit into barrels and adding barrels from the single-vineyard bottlings to complete the requisite volume. The result is consistently superb. Drinking window: 2022-2030. Part of Finger Lakes White Wines: Best New Releases. Score - 92. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Nov. 5, 2022)
