Wagner Vineyard is located on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. The winery was founded in 1979 and thus is one of the veterans in the Finger Lakes.
The 2008 dry Riesling has a pale lemon color. On the nose it is clean and fresh. The aromas of citrus, apple and fresh cut flowers are of medium intensity. The Riesling is quite dry on the palate. The acidity is crisp, both the alcohol and flavor intensity are of medium intensity. Citrus and green pear fruit dominate, although there is a nice touch of minerals towards the finish. Drink now through 2014.
An energetic Riesling and ideal candidate for the dinner table. It does not brag but silently pleases.
In short:
Good
