Wine: Drink New York Riesling
Year: 2008
Drank: 6/12/2011
Fox Run vineyards is located on the west side of Seneca Lake toward the north. The Drink New York Riesling is a less expensive wine at $9.99 per bottle and a distinctive label based on Rosie the Riveter, and is described as a Semi-Sweet Riesling.
The aroma on the first nose is one of grapefruit and lime, though it is not particularly aromatic. The second nose brings a stronger scent of citric acid and perhaps a hint of floral aromas. There is some sweetness on the tip of the tongue with tastes of grape on the mid-mouth. The finish has strong grapefruit flavors with a very acidic bite. This acidity is not very well balanced by sweetness or mineral flavors.
Not a particularly impressive wine. It's strength is that it is relatively inexpensive and has some decent flavors. It's balance is off, especially for a semi sweet. The bitterness of the grapefruit and acidity on the finish really disturb enjoyment of this wine. The aromas are not particularly strong either.
Final Rating: 4/10. A weak aroma and overpowering acidity and bitterness. It has some nice grape and grape fruit flavors aside from that, and it is affordable, though its cost is not considered in the rating
