The 2014 Dry Riesling Eugenia is a new label, a single vineyard, old vines (35-40 years) Riesling named for Dr. Frank's wife. It comes in with just three grams per liter of residual sugar and 12.6% alcohol. The winery said that this "is made from the oldest section of Riesling at the winery’s estate vineyards on Keuka Lake. This is one of the steepest and most shale-laden sections of the vineyard, contributing to a very distinctive minerality in the wine." It is potentially special, but ridiculously backward just now. Fresh, clean and transparent, this features big acidity and bright flavors on the end, with a touch of grapefruit. The big acidity makes it austere, lean and pointed on first tastes and that doesn't entirely go away, at least not now and not in its youth. Loaded with potential it has not yet achieved, this should be in a much better place in three or four years. It has a long life ahead. Don't rush, don't worry. I'm going to be just a bit conservative now, but it may yet be entitled to an uptick.
