2014 Red Newt Dry Riesling

The 2014 Dry Riesling has 6 grams per liter of residual sugar and 11.8% alcohol. Classic, transparent and fresh, this opens tight and a bit closed, but it is gripping on the finish with fine tension. Precise, focused, solid in the mid-palate for the style and just a little austere, this will likely drink a lot better next year, but it is a beauty in the making. It is also a fine value, another great example of how FLX tends to over-deliver in this category. This will be released on August 1.
