Ravines Wine Cellars

A beautiful and succulent, dry riesling that shows terrific balance and tension from the integrated acidity. 

Expressive, mineral driven and immensely bright in this vintage with citrus, floral and flinty components. From old vines on steeply sloping limestone soil, the wine is quite accessible in its youth, but with tremendous aging potential. Elegant, pure and savory notes on the long finish. 96 points, Decanter Magazine, where MW, Charles Curtis deemed this wine "Perhaps America's preeminent Riesling."

Dynamic aromatics of asian pear, mango and sweet spices jump from the glass. Quintessential balance is paramount to this wine's fresh and vibrant mouthfeel. The acidity is fully integrated for such a young wine, providing verve and staying power on the dry finish.

Textbook, cool-climate chardonnay. Intense and aromatic, with meyer lemon, white flowers and hints of nutmeg. Ripe mango and pear melds with a stony minerality on the palate, both elegant and creamy with subtle spices. 

Spiced plums, black cherries and rose petals, with a touch of cinnamon and pepper. Juicy with an acidic backbone. 100% estate fruit of Pinot Noir and Blaufränkisch from our estate vineyards on Seneca Lake: White Springs (Blaufrankisch) and 16 Falls Vineyards (Pinot Noir).

From the steep sloping Two Gorges Vineyard (formerly known as the Glen Eldridge Vineyard) that falls sharply into the waters of Seneca Lake. A robust and structured, cool-climate Merlot with black cherries, ripe plum, earth and spice. The depth of the nose and big tannins on the palate point to a very age worthy wine, but the drinkability in its youth is noticeable and inviting with air.   

100% estate, sustainably grown Cabernet Franc from our White Springs and 16 Falls Vineyards. Incredibly fresh and inviting with aromas of redcurrant, cranberries and mountain herbs. The palate is pure and elegant, with notes of raspberries and hints of earth and spice. A perfect rendition of Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc, aged for a year in our 6-year-old, 2000 liter Austrian and Hungarian Oak casks.

Made in the in the traditional, centuries-old French method of Champagne making (Methode Champenoise), of 100% Pinot Noir.  The wine is rich and lifted with bright orange and red fruits, along with a creamy texture and long finish. 

Ravines Dry Riesling Magnum is a unique and elegant expression of the Finger Lakes terroir. The bouquet of the wine is delicate with intricate aromas of white flowers mingled with pear, apple and citrus notes followed by a lingering mineral finish and a vibrant acidity. 

Delicate aromas of ripe cherry, plum, sultry spices, and earthy aromas create a sensual and engaging complexity. 90 points, Wine Spectator
