Ravines Dry Riesling Argetsinger Vineyard 2019

Flaskehalsen

MIRAKULØS NEW YORK-RIESLING | Der er dansk blod indblandet i det amerikanske vinhus Ravines, der står bag denne fabelagtige Riesling. Vi er i New York-området, hvor Argetsinger-marken viser høj, høj klasse med masser af klassiske Riesling-vibes i næsen. Der er petroleum, fylde, olieret og cremet mundfornemmelse – og stadig en yderst elegant syre, der liver det hele op. Det er en Riesling fra øverste hylde, og hvIs jeg havde 400 kroner, der skulle bruges på en flaske hvidvin, ville jeg ikke tøve med at vælge denne. Den er i allerhøjeste grad sin normalpris værd med sin intense og insisterende dybde, sin fine og komplekse syre og den uanstændigt præcise og lækre balance. Normalpris kr. 399,95 – Set til kr. 279,95 Supervin | 6 Stjerner, 98 Pts.

Decanter

The Argetsinger cuvée is a tour de force in this vintage, with the abundant aromas of nectarine and green apple of the 'regular' dry Riesling. Yet, the limestone soil of the mild slopes in this southeast corner of Lake Seneca shines through in the verdant and saline minerality that sets this wine apart. Piercingly lovely acidity but more than enough exuberant peachy fruit shot through with floral notes to bring this exciting wine into dynamic balance and carry it to an immensely satisfying finish. Its tightly wound structure and silky finesse ensures it should age for decades. Perhaps America's preeminent Riesling.

Wine & Spirits Magazine

This vintage of Argetsginer is all about energy. Grown at Ravines’ leased vineyard on the east side of Seneca Lake, it’s spectacularly twitchy and lean, with a scent of pineapple and smoke, passion fruit and lime, high-toned fruit meeting high toned texture. On the palate, the mineral effect is alive and electric, the acidity matched by salinity that seems to pulse through the wine.

Wine Review Online

Argetsinger Vineyard is in a southeast Seneca Lake location, high in elevation and steeply sloped. This vintage is fully crisp, steely and slate-y, with a fleshy midpalate thanks to lees aging. It is textured and long, showcasing apple and pear. Beautiful!

Mad og Monopolet

Top-Riesling fra den danske vinejer Morten Hallgreen, som sætter en vild standard indenfor amerikansk produceret Riesling. Duft af citrus, limeskal, grape, appelsinskal, tørret ananas, mango og petroleum. I munden er den tør, mineralsk og har en diskret let tilbagetrukket smag af frugt, som gør vinen elegant og nok noget af den bedste amerikanske Riesling, jeg har smagt. 1 stk 399,95 / BEDSTE PRIS v/ 6 fl. 279,95

Houlberg

Her er der en smule æteriske dampe af petroleum, diesel og en smule spildolie, men dog mere afdæmpet end hos 2017’eren og igen meget raffineret, sagte og yndefuldt. Det dufter så krystalklart med en vibrerende nerve, æbler, fersken, blomster, pollen, en klart stenet og mineralsk note, men alt holdt i stramme tøjler på en nærmest nænsom facon. Smagsmæssigt sker der virkelig noget … for i munden smelter vinen nærmest, men samtidig er der en rigtig flot syre, som sikrer en form for friskhed og spændstighed. Der er kæmpe dybde, koncentration, grønne æbler, citroner, lime, mineraler og sten. Som med duften, så kommer smagen også bare rullende som en bølge, der hele tiden vokser i styrke og hænger lang tid i munden. 94 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 399,95 kr., mens prisen er 279,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker.

James Suckling

An intensely mineral dry Riesling that is only just beginning to open up. Very complex and subtle aromas that range from peaches to wild herbs. Impressive structure is packed into quite a sleek silhouette. So much wet-stone character at the long and pristine wet-stone finish. Drink or hold.

Der kommer masser af god riesling fra Finger Lakes-distriktet i New York State. Her er enkeltmarksvinen Argetsinger fra Ravines i årgang 2019. Næsen har flot petroleumsduft på toppen af moden pære. Munden starter cremet inden den intense syre og mineralitet tager over. Flot og spændende riesling-oplevelse fra 'across the pond'. 359,95 v. 6 hos supervin.dk 92p

The 2019 Dry Riesling Argetsinger Vineyard, another late release, has just two grams of sugar plus 8.7 grams of total acidity and 12.8% alcohol. The regular Dry Riesling shows so well that some might wonder why they should trade up. It's a fair question since the difference in price is over $10 in a region known for its bargains. Many will be perfectly happy stopping there. Still, I'd say this is the better wine and that will become even clearer as they both age (and likely separate a bit more). This is more impressive for expressive fruit. It seems more like the essence of Riesling, unfolding slowly over your tongue and coating the palate until some bursts of acidity crop up. Like its regular 2019 sibling, though, it is relatively integrated and balanced, with not a hair out of place. If anything, it seems more refined and graceful. The slight tart aspect on the finish provides a bit of spice, but it never overwhelms the wine. So, you can drink this now. As it ages and acquires a little complexity, this should become even more impressive.
