Winery - Hermann J. Wiemer
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Alsatian-style late harvest wine offers aromas of apricot, melon and citrus on the nose, and a rich palate of curvy fruit on the palate. Pretty and poised, and good with cheeses or fruit.

This sparkling wine starts with a toasty but soft nose, leading into clean but fruity flavors and a refreshing finish. Though an earlier release might have allowed more primary fruit to show through, the wine offers easygoing but elegant enjoyment.

Smoke, honey and delicate white flowers meld luxuriously on this not-quite-dry beauty. Sweet white grapefruit juice flavors are intensely concentrated on the palate, highlighted by a shower of lime zest and a stony minerality on the finish.

Exquisite scents of ripe red strawberries and raspberries accented by fresh herbs and bramble make Hermann J. Wiemer’s Reserve another top pick for Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc. There’s an intensity to the bright, red plums that flavor the palate, complemented by a pleasant astringency and vibrant acidity that keeps this wine impeccably fresh.

Ripe yellow peaches, golden honey and billowing florals perfume this outstanding Riesling. Dry on the palate with a touch of stonefruit sweetness, it’s an impeccably complex wine with a shower of slate and stone in the midpalate and delicious lime pith astringency throughout.

Santa Claus may be a myth but this wine proves New York wines with good fruit aren't. This lovely Chardonnay is from 30-year-old vines and avoids malolactic fermentation. A lean, lightly floral nose, excellent delineation of fruit, and barely any oak. Good body and a nice persistent finish. Hats off to Hermann.

An extravagantly perfumed Riesling billowing with white jasmine and elderflower notes. The floral tones are maintained on the palate as well, but interlaced with notes of stone and slate that add richness and complexity. The finish is dry and elegant, ending with a hint of bitter lime pith.

From its bright floral nose to its soft, sweet finish, there’s a gorgeous femininity to this outstanding Riesling. Dry in style but accented by notes of pink grapefruit and lychee, Magdalena’s daintiness is kept in check with a bracing acidity and elegant white tea astringency.

Intense and bright with a wonderfully complex nose of slate and stones, combined with elegantly subdued florals. It’s dry, but there’s a whisper of lemon drop sweetness throughout. Beautifully balanced with an intensely mineral, steely finish.

Bone dry with aromas of freshly pressed apples, this is an austere but elegant sparkling blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. With notes of delicate white florals and yeast in the backdrop, the palate has a savory, dusty quality accented by a racy acidity and strong, minerally finish.
