World-class Riesling from the Finger Lakes. Founded in 2011 by a French winemaker from a 14-generation Rhône family, Forge Cellars has become a beacon for American Riesling. This single-vineyard wine from Seneca Lake's southeastern shore showcases tropical fruit, citrus, and minerality from shale-rich soils. Dry, precise, and age-worthy. A must for anyone curious about New York wine.

"To this taster, the 2023 Dry Riesling Freese Vineyard is perhaps the most Finger Lakes-typical of the numerous single-vineyard offerings from Forge Cellars. Scents of apples, peaches, citrus fruit and dried spices emerge from the glass, while the medium-bodied palate is silky-textured and elegant, with a lingering finish." —Joe Czerwinski

These are Finger Lakes wines that prove the region deserves respect.
