3 bottles of 2017 Riesling Tango Oaks Ice wine for just under $200

Tango Oaks is a vineyard that, despite its gorgeous view of Seneca Lake, tends to look quite austere as middle of the row vegetation struggles to survive between vines. Vines well tended to with a great deal of sun exposure on the fruiting zone to maximize ripening of the late ripening Alsatian clones of Riesling. Six rows were designated for the ice harvest pick. They were netted to assist in deterring birds and catching any clusters that were ready to drop. The fruit was hand picked into lugs by a small team from Red Newt on December 27th 2017 starting at 7 am (12 *F) and ending at 11 am (10*F). The weather was favorable and did not warm up despite the sun shining during picking. The lugs were loaded into a welch bin and then trucked back to Red Newt for a 3 day press cycle to extract the juice from the frozen berries.

Intense aromas of butterscotch, lemon cream, mango and pineapple are rich, undulating and deep on the nose. The unctuous, sweet palate brings flavors of caramel-drizzled apple and dried apricot, with piercing acidity shooting through all that richness. There's incredible concentration, depth and length, making this a no-brainer for the cellar. Drink through 2035.
