"These are high-quality wines that appear to do an excellent job representing their various terroirs." - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
As New York's Finger Lakes region has gained spotlight on the world stage in recent years, a handful of producers have emerged as the clear leaders setting the bar, and Louis Barruol's Forge Cellars is certainly one of the top names to know here.
The owner of Château Saint-Cosme in Gigondas (Rhone Valley, France) has an uncompromising approach to his craft, and the same meticulous attention and rigorous standard that make the Saint-Cosme wines so highly acclaimed is brought to bear on the Forge line-up. While the single-vineyard expressions are certainly standard bearers for the Finger Lakes' unique terroirs, the 2023 Classique Riesling offers all the characteristics that have garnered Finger Lakes Rieslings the attention they now deserve.
Ripe fruit, taut, tensile structure, and scintillating aromatics all come out in a wine that easily lives up to its 93-point press, and best of all, a case-buy price offers the perfect incentive to branch out and dive into one of the country's most dynamic, rising-star wine regions. |
