Forge Cellars Riesling Classique 2022 750ml
Stone, slate and salt—all rendered in the round, forward house style—lend great complexity to the base.
Expert Review - Vintage 2022
Vinous 90 Points | A blend of fruit from all the sites Rick Rainey works with, the 2022 Dry Riesling Classique is impressively mineral for such an inexpensive wine. Stone, slate and salt—all rendered in the round, forward house style—lend great complexity to the base layer of tropical melon fruit.

Winemaker Description
The Classique acts as an annual celebration of their work. It commemorates the efforts and dedication of their growers who take each vintage in stride by receiving each day with vulnerability and leaning into the gifts of Mother Nature. Their Classique is an imprint of their diverse and geologically rich region. For them, it represents the potential of Bone Dry Riesling on southeast Seneca Lake.

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2021
90 Points Wine & Spirits | Scents of pine tips and green herbs give way to firm, austere citrus flavors. It's got an herbal edge, of thyme and chervil, with an orange peel and lime-oil lift.
90 Points Wine Spectator | Focused and tight, with a mix of yuzu, yellow apple, fennel and bitter almond notes that race along through the lengthy finish.
