Riesling wine is often associated with Germany, where it's very popular and where it first earned its keep, but there are also great Rieslings coming out of other cool-climate growing regions like New York's Finger Lakes, Oregon, Washington, Canada, and the like. Regardless of where it comes from, though, there's no denying that Riesling is a fantastic white wine grape.
While Riesling is most often associated with sweetness, dry riesling wines are plentiful and the most coveted. Sweetness is generally determined by when the grape was harvested - the first grapes harvested (labeled Kabinett in Germany) are the driest and the latter harvests tend to produce sweeter wines.

JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022 This youthful dry riesling has a slew of floral and herbal nuances, together with delicate stone-fruit and wild-berry notes. So elegant, in spite of the full, juicy fruit on the palate. The long, wet-stone finish is racy and pristine. Made with grapes from the estate vineyard on Keuka Lake. Drink or hold. Screw cap.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 12th May 2022 The 2020 Dry Riesling Eugenia comes in with three grams of residual sugar against 6.9 of total acidity and 12.9% alcohol. This is a single-vineyard selection from 1968 vines on soils with high slate content. The winery calls it their best Riesling plot. This is a surprisingly friendly wine this year, perhaps typical of the vintage. Maybe one day it will close down, but not today. It is splendid, showing off fine depth, a fruity demeanor and respectable power. As fruity as it is, it shows off a little tension on the finish too. This is very accessible this year, but it’s still likely to improve in the cellar. The winery is a strong proponent of the 2020 vintage (and they aren’t the only ones), but as impressive as this is, and granting that both are not here together, I’d take the 2019 just now. That may be slower-developing, but in a few years, a comparison will be intriguing. They are both very fine.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021 The 2019 Dry Riesling “Margrit” comes in with 7.39 grams of residual sugar and 9.7 of total acidity, plus 12.8% alcohol. That is dry. This is sourced from a single vineyard on Seneca Lake, owned by the winery, that was planted in 2008. The winery says the site is somewhat warmer than their Keuka Lake properties, producing a riper wine. A big step up over the last I saw, this has power but also a juicy finish that displays fine fruit. As powerful as it is, it not just an acid-freak wine. That long finish is gripping and tense. The aromatics are powerful too, while the mid-palate is simply solid. This food-wine Riesling shows every sign of improving over the next decade. It may have layers yet to reveal. Giving it a year or so of cellar time would be a good idea.
JS93+93–94 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, September 23, 2021 So much lemon and herbal freshness with a touch of licorice. Excellent balance of mineral acidity and delicate fruit on the very lively palate, the grape sweetness barely perceptible. Very crisp, clean finish.
JS93+93–94 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, September 23, 2021 An entire basket of fruit, ranging from berries through nectarines to pineapple, but also plenty of spice. Concentrated and juicy with a serious, linear structure that makes this stand out in the Mosel Kabinett field.
JS94+94–95 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, September 23, 2021 Super-juicy, but with all the peachy elegance you expect from the Mosel! Delicate notes of tropical flowers and mangosteen. Beautifully integrated grape sweetness. Long, filigree finish.
VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2019 Harvested from the gravelly silt loam soils on the east side of Seneca Lake. Golden yellow in color, with a delicate, quiet nose of violet, iris and green apple. In the mouth, it’s steely, the fruity notes of nectarine and apple peel giving way to a pretty saltiness and slightly muted acidity. Gentle and attractive. 2.67 grams residual sugar.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Jun 2019 The 2017 Dry Riesling Breakneck Creek Vineyard, as with many of the others here, was whole-cluster pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts and then fermented and aged in neutral French barrels for roughly seven months. It comes in with three grams of residual sugar and 13% alcohol. This was sourced from 20-year-old vines on the east side of Seneca Lake.
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Feb 29, 2020 This is very pure and focused, with a honeysuckle edge and a piercing core of white peach, star fruit and yellow apple flavors, all backed by a racy quinine echo on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 125 cases made.
