The 2021 Forge Cellars Freese Dry Riesling presents a pale straw hue, hinting at its youthful vibrancy. On the nose, it offers an intricate bouquet of lime zest, white peach, and wet slate, underscored by a whisper of petrol, characteristic of its Finger Lakes provenance. The palate is taut and precise, with a steely minerality that complements its racy acidity, creating a tension that is both invigorating and elegant. Flavors of green apple and honeysuckle unfold with a saline edge, leading to a long, mouthwatering finish. This Riesling exemplifies the region’s potential for producing world-class dry expressions.
