Forge Cellars, Break Neck Creek Riesling, 2023
A single-vineyard Riesling from one of the Finger Lakes' most thoughtful houses. Forge Cellars was launched in 2011 by Rhône winemaker Louis Barruol (of Château de Saint Cosme in Gigondas) with Finger Lakes pros Justin Boyette and Richard Rainey, and quickly became the benchmark for bone-dry, site-driven Riesling on Seneca Lake's southeastern shore. Break Neck Creek is a vineyard the team has worked with for years and treats almost like a varietal grand cru — Riesling planted on Lansing and Conesus gravelly silt loam on Seneca Lake's east side. The 2023 is generous and zesty, loaded with ripe tangerine and stone fruit but tightened by the briny, saline twang that has become Forge's signature. Bone-dry, medium-bodied, and seriously delicious now.
