Hosmer Riesling Cayuga Lake 2011

Our Dry Riesling is fresh and crisp with a bright finish. Flavors of lime and apple bounce around the palate with a zesty essence of tangerine. - Winery

While redolent of jasmine blossoms and sweet orange marmalade, Hosmerrsquo;s dry Riesling is surprisingly austere on the palate with hints of fresh fennel fronds and a gripping lemon acidity. A good match for heavier, savory fare like braised pork belly, it finishes on a pleasantly bitter citrus-pith note.

A vivid white, with a racy core of anise and apple laced with fennel and jasmine notes. Therersquo;s nice cut through the finish. Drink now through 2013.

This high toned Riesling leads with pronounced green-herb aromas of chervil and coriander to highlight bright green apple notes. its flavors are very tightly wound, but it's refreshing in its taut construction.

Savory on the nose with pressed apple notes brightened by a dash of coriander spice, this semi-sweet Riesling is brisk with a lemony acidity and concentrated, honey-kissed apple flavors. Unusually spiced, it's a tempting companion for lighter South Indian fare.

This semi-dry Riesling (3.2% R.S.) delivers a mouthful of fruit including peaches, mangoes, lemons and limes. It is a full-bodied wine that is well balanced by the Rieslingrsquo;s natural acidity, so it has a long, lively finish.

Dry-edged, but also very juicy, with fresh, mouthwatering apple, melon rind and lime flavors that drive nicely through the anise-tinged finish.
