2016 Riesling - Kelby James Russell

Kelby James Russell is the former Winemaker at Red Newt Cellars.  For almost a decade he has produced exceptional wines under his signature Winemaker Series inspired by different wine regions in the world close to Kelby's heart, including Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Dry Rose of Cabernet Franc.

Classic petrol, with notes of lemon pith, apricot, and candied lime peel.  The Kelby James Russell Riesling was inspired by the style of one of the world's great and overlooked Riesling producing countries, Australia. Made with 100% Riesling from the rich fruit of Tango Oaks Vineyard on Seneca Lake, it is our twist on an age-worthy style.
