"Sourced from Hermann J. Wiemer's prized Magdalena Vineyard — located on the edge of Seneca Lake — this Cabernet Franc showcases the elegance of Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc. The wine opens with bright fruit notes, but complex notes of cedar, tobacco leaf and smoke reveal themselves after some time in the glass. The wine is concentrated and has a great structure, suggesting you can enjoy it with a hearty meal, or cellar it for a few years."

"#21 Top 100 Cellar Selections 2024: Still a spring chicken, this top Riesling—if drunk now—needs a few good swirls in the glass before releasing delicate orange citrus, jasmine and honeysuckle aromas from the clutch of more reductive ones. There's richness and intensity on the dry, slippery palate, cut with citrusy acidity and a chalk dust minerality to the ultralong finish. This is a wine of complexity and class that should cellar until 2032 or longer. — Christina Pickard"
