Apollo's Praise Lahoma Vineyard Dry Riesling 2023 Review
After a decade working at a top Finger Lakes winery, Kelby James Russell set out to start his own project, purchasing the coveted Lahoma Vineyard on Seneca Lake. This is Russell's first release under the Apollo's Praise label, and it's an impressive showing of Finger Lakes Riesling. The nose brings perfumed aromas of apricots, mango, and grapefruit and the palate is brimming with more ripe stone fruit and tropical fruit notes. Though this wine is packed with fresh fruit flavors, the bright acidity and minerality still shine through on the finish.
