Wine & Spirit Magazine - 93 Points (09 Vintage) Wine Spectator - 86 points / Wine Pick of the Day (09 Vintage) Round and easy, with an off-dry edge to the pear and green apple notes, backed by a twinge of kiwifruit that adds some nice snap to the finish. (WS - James Molesworth,12/15/10) "There's no shortage of crisp whites and good values coming out of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York, and Red Newt owners David and Debra Whiting are among the most quality-conscious winery owners in this scenic region. Located on the east side of Seneca Lake,Red Newt produces more than a dozen reds and whites, but few are more successful than Riesling. Winemaker Dave Whiting made about 2,100 cases of the 2008. Fermented in stainless steel, the Circle Label is designed with a touch of residual sweetness, keeping it user-friendly for new Riesling drinkers as well as showcasing the winery's younger vineyards, which Whiting believes don't have the acid structure to support the drier-style bottlings the winery also produces. The result is a bright and refreshing off-dry wine with a candied lime peel edge to apple, pear, fig and anise notes." Wine Spectator "500 Great Buys" Kim Marcus, Oct. 15, 2009 regarding the 2008 Vintage: "If you're new to the region's wines and want to dip your toe in the water, try the "Circle Label" bottling from Red Newt-it's an exceptional value, and winemaker Dave Whiting has slowly increased production to its current 2,100 case level. Whiting produces the wine in a slightly off-dry style, both to entice drinkers new to Riesling as well as to showcase his younger vineyards, which he feels don't have the acid structure to support the drier- stylebottlingshealsoproduces."
