Hermann J. Wiemer, Dry Riesling, Seneca Lake

The wine looks straw colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon. It tastes like pear. The body is light/medium. The wine has coarse texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

2021 vintage

The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle.

2021 vintage

Still on the riper side, papaya, pineapple, citrus curd, a slighly off rubber note that blows off with a bit of air. Still not my favorite vintage of this, still striking me as an earlier drinking one.

2021 vintage

Aromas of peach, stone, and just a hint of salinity and pith. Overall the nose is fairly muted. Also light in flavor, though what's there is good. More light peach and citrus flavors, with a nice acidity and light body. Very easy to drink and good with food.

2021 vintage

Holding up well. Nice example of FLX reisling.

2021 vintage

Absolutely ready to drink and in its peak drinking window. A very forward, fragrant style of Riesling, with plenty of ripe green apple and complicating bottle age development. Beautiful balance and satin texture. Very fine wine. I wouldn’t tempt fate more than a couple of years…

2021 vintage

Honeysuckle on nose. Lots of yellow fruit on palate. Yellow apple, cantaloupe, stone fruit.

2021 vintage

(Tasted at the winery, from 1.5L). Much more tart notes on the nose and much more white, orchard fruit based (melon and pear) as compared to the 2010. Between light and medium bodied and dry upfront, then showing some soft, white melon. Adds peach through the middle along with a good amount of sweetness. The contrast between the dry upfront and the sweet middle worked well together. Spices and light citrus on the back and through the finish. Even through …

2011 vintage

Solid, if a bit earlier drinking in balance. Not a vintage to load up on from them.

2021 vintage

decent but not great. not too sweet which was my objective

2021 vintage

Initially seemed ok, just a bit flat. Fruit not as prominent. But as it was open, it deteriorated. I presume there was something wrong as previous bottles have been great

2021 vintage

Not as acidic as its European cousins. Nice orchard / stone fruit, lovely round texture.

2021 vintage

This bottle may be off a bit; not corked (I think) but the typical fruit has an acidic note underneath that isn't present in previous bottles. Still has the nice fruity nose and rich fruit first hit on the palate; but finish seems off a bit. Seems to blow off the longer its open but still odd.

2021 vintage

Nice pear and apple notes, good acidity, just a hint of sweetness. Great paired with Pad Thai!

2021 vintage

Continues to impress. Fruit forward dry Riesling with a big mouth feel. Not sweet though the fruit makes some think so. Perfect to sip and good with lighter foods. One of our favorites.

2021 vintage

Tasted at the winery. Initially, very soft and somewhat indistinct on the nose, but as it warns a bit, starts to show some light white orchard fruit notes with hints of tropical notes behind. Light bodied with white orchard fruit notes upfront, expanding through the middle and showing more roundness and depth than I initially expected. Backside shows acidity and touch of spices. It's certainly a lighter bodied frame and perhaps not the overt level of complexity this wine often …

2021 vintage

continues to impress. Fruit driven dry riesling; some describe it as sweet but that is just the fruit! Great to sip; pairs well with lighter foods.

2021 vintage

Very nice, tight, dry riesling. Citrus like tangerine + lemon, orange rind, white peach, maybe some pineapple, mineral. Very enjoyable. Really happy with this Finger Lakes gem. Will be buying more.

2021 vintage

Perfect Riesling to quaff: just a touch off dry but mainly from all of the fruit. big mouth feel with mineral underneath a ton of fruit.

2021 vintage

Nice. Fresh, vibrant. Light body. WSET Notes: Pale lemon green. Medium plus intensity on the nose with green apple, white blossom, wet stone, lemon. Youthful. Medium plus intensity and dry on the palate. Light body, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium finish. Can drink now but has potential for aging.

2021 vintage

Nice acidity - very crisp feel. You can tell that this is a nice wine.

2021 vintage

Nice fruit forward dry Riesling; very crowd friendly. Good balance and just enough acidity for light foods.

2021 vintage

Crisp green apple and a hint of petrol on the nose. On the palate it’s like getting sucker punched with a green apple Jolly Rancher. Not the sweetness of it, but that tartness comes through in spades. Mouthwatering acidity. A bit unbalanced for my liking. Check back in 3-5 years.

2021 vintage

orange peel and spices

Finger Lakes Summer of Riesling 2023; 7/7/2023-7/10/2023 (Finger Lakes, New York, USA) : FLX 2023 Day 1, Winery 2: Fruity and balanced. RS 0.7%

2021 vintage

Fragrant green apple and beeswax. Vibrant, racy, balanced, refined. Beautiful mouthfeel. The finish is extremely intense, with heaps of extraction of fruit and texture.Young, but certainly approachable. 91 points, but has upside potential - or at least the ability to hold its qualitative level while developing aged nuance. Certainly outstanding.

2021 vintage

Had with friends over Mem Day. Served before dinner with grilled sausage and was a perfect pairing. a bit past its prime (maybe) but extremely pleasant. Dark gold color; mild honey notes, still some fruit and definitely some spice. Heavy viscosity; what's note to like?

2011 vintage

No notes but a good match for our chix dinner. Mineral, moderate fruit. Decent everyday stuff.

2011 vintage

Grapefruit nose but not strong. A little more semi dry than dry. Some honey notes and grapefruit. Pleasant but not great

2011 vintage

Slightest petrol notes, white peach, muscaty nose. I would consider this off dry, but it's quite quaffable nevertheless. Not much acidity, so not one to hold, but would be a crowd pleaser. Very nice with spicy Asian food.

2011 vintage

Classic Riesling nose and flavor. Smooth, wel balanced acid.A great food wine with peach, nectarine notes.

2011 vintage

Nice yellow color. Tropical fruit smooth and delicious. Served this to a group of non-riesling fans and they all lo ed the wine. From Dad's cellar at Keuka.

2011 vintage

Has held up very well since Tuesday evening. Notes of pear, melon, stone and white peach. Ripe cantaloupe and pear flavors with a rich, lengthy finish.

2011 vintage

Pale color with a slight green tint. Aromas of petrol and stone as well as apple and peach. Flavors of apple, apricot and peach with a mineral spine. 88-89 pts.

2011 vintage

Shows too much richness and sweetness without enough acidity for balance. Just okay.

2011 vintage

Strong hints of pineapple and tropical fruits. I liked the mouth feel of this wine--it had surprisingly good body with decent acidity. While this was enjoyable, it wouldn't be a Riesling I would reach for often. I like more acidity in Rieslings and would have liked more complexity.

2011 vintage

Nice, subdued dry Riesling. Medium acidity, not overpowering. Excellent with spicy foods.

2011 vintage

Agree with isaacjamesbaker. And I think thatt $18 (which is less than I paid for it) this is a good deal in riesling. the Balance is there, so is the ripeness. Equal to something Pfalz/Rheinhessen at about the same price. Yum yum yum. How can someone not like this?

2011 vintage

Decent effort but overpriced at $18. I'll definitively stick to the Mosel, much better consistency and value.

2011 vintage

The wine is a beautiful golden color and can lighten your day just by pouring it. The wine has very strong florals, apple and straw. The florals and apple continue into the tasting with a very long crisp finish. While it is a dry Riesling, I was hoping for something drier, but did enjoy.

2011 vintage

Holed Up Vs. Hurricane Sandy; 10/30/2012-10/31/2012 : Bob brought this over and we enjoyed it a lot. Aromas of yellow apple, apricot and a hint of honey. The palate shows medium acid and lots of bruished orchard fruit. Hints of apricot and honey linger on the finish. It reminds me of a Pfalz riesling from a warmer vintage. Lacking in just a bit of the minerality I'm used to in German rieslings, but this wine is clearly well-made and quite …

2011 vintage

Drank at BA Really nice fresh Riesling with a touch of sweetness. Excellent stuff and great value. Amazing quality.

2011 vintage

Faint but firm aromas of pear and peach. Beautiful lemon and mineral flavors with a bit of tingle. Kumquat in the finish. Despite the "dry" on the label, there is perceptible sweetness throughout which really shows through on the finish. Since the Germans don't seem to be making much Kabinett today, I'm glad that Wiemer is stepping into the breach. This is absolutely of comparable quality to a Kabinett from a top German estate. A gorgeous wine, and a great …

2011 vintage

Really class, young drinking riesling with 1% residual gives this a nice mouthfeel and even with 13%abv, this was very fruit dominates with green apple acidity and white flowers and some pitted fruit. Long finish. Truly a great qpr.

2011 vintage

Steely and stoney on the nose with peach pit. Some sweetness on the palate: ripe and juicy, with peach and stones, great citrus and minerals on the finish. Really zingy and delicious. This is ripe and has some sweetness, but has the acidity and seriousness to carry it off well. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 4/6, Finish - 5/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 15.5/20.

2011 vintage

Very impressive little finger lake estate riesling. Beautiful aromas emerged after some quick airtime of light apple and white flowers but smelled very delicate. The palate is where this struck a home run. Such a pleasant and light mouthfeel, with the minerals it felt like it was dancing on your tongue. The apple and pears melded well with a serious backbone of fragrant tangerine, with a beautiful clean finish.

2011 vintage

A rare wine that has improved with age. Great wines seem like contradictions, and here is one. How can a wine retain its youthful freshness, no signs of early oxidation or maturity, and yet add layers of texture and weight? How can it show richness in the mouth without being heavy? This is pure, and complex, and wonderful. Glorious peak right now, but with little precedent, hard to predict its age track. No real hurry, but can't go wrong with …

2003 vintage

TWC Does Finger Lakes Whites (Home) : This is a superb wine, so balanced and wellk structured. Lemon/lime/melon/apple are the dominant aromas and flavors, with a crisp, dry mouthfeel, and acidity that brings the whole wine together.

2003 vintage

Are you sure?
