Riesling Ice Wine 2013 "Enzo"

"Enzo" - Riesling Ice Wine
This is a true Ice Wine made on Long Island with grapes frozen on the vine in the Finger Lakes. Harvested at 14°F on November 30th 2013, with 37 degrees brix, this wine was wild fermented in French oak for 12 months, and bottled unfiltered & unfined. With aromas of raw honey and citrus blossoms, expressing apricot and stone fruit, this delicate wine balances floral flavors, a full sweet body and a long finish. 46 cases produced, 375 ml bottle. This wine was named after our son Enzo Armando Nappa who was born January 30, 2016, 1:27am

2013 Enzo – 93 pts Wine Advocate The 2013 Riesling Ice Wine "Enzo" is sourced from the Finger Lakes (Sheldrake Point). It comes in at 203 grams per liter of residual sugar and 11.2% alcohol. This eschews the rich, honeyed and unctuous for a brighter and fresher feel, adding more perceptible acidity. Its brightness lifts and defines fresh peach flavors, with less apricot. It leads to a somewhat drier conclusion than expected. It always delivers plenty of flavor in its own style, though. It doesn't seem as sweet as it is. This is relative, though, as there is still a certain unctuousness under the bright demeanor. I rather loved the freshness supporting this wine. There were 46 cases produced of 375-milliliter bottles.
2013 Enzo - 90pts Wine Enthusiast Named after the winemaker's newborn son, Enzo is a bold unabashedly unique take on Finger Lakes Riesling in the hands of a Long Island producer. Made from grapes frozen on the vine and fermented via indigenous yeast in French oak, it's intensely spicy, wafting of caramel and candied orange rinds. The palate is unctuously honeyed but dusted by layers of earth and mineral. It's a far departure from a classic ice wine yet intriguingly complex and impeccably balanced.
