Ravines 2005 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
An Alsatian-style Riesling, this dry, firm wine has aromas of peach and citrus. Minerality backs the mouthfeel, while flavors of orange, melon, spice and peach pit play on the tongue. Strong acids and a long, minerally finish suggest that this wine will age gracefully over the next five years or more.

Ravines 2008 Argetsinger Vineyard Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
If you’re looking for a truly bone-dry Riesling from the Finger Lakes, look no further than Ravines. It’s uncharacteristically austere for the region, with a lean, light body and a mineral laden, wet-stone palate. Lots of freshly squeezed lime juice and a citrus rind finish makes this an elegant, drinkable choice.

Ravines 2008 Chardonnay (Finger Lakes)
- $19
Winemaker Morten Hallgren harnesses a traditional Italian grape-drying technique called appassimento to create this richly concentrated but dry Chardonnay. Initial notes of smoke and roasted hazelnut skins fade on the nose and palate to reveal a clean, fresh apple and pear character, speckled with white flowers and a bright lemon-lime acidity.

Ravines 2007 Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- $19
This fruit-forward red displays aromas of cherry, tomato and red berry, and on the palate, the wine is spicy and soft, with red berry and spice flavors dominating. A red with spirit and class. Pair with grilled duck breast.

Ravines 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Finger Lakes)
- $18
This is an exemplary SB from the Finger Lakes, with its lively nose of lemon and minerals touched by an elegant floral note. On the palate, robust, crisp citrus and fruit flavors are balanced by firm acidity and a refreshing but lingering finish.

Ravines 2007 Meritage (Finger Lakes)
- $25
This Bordeaux blend is light on its feet, with spicy anise liquor aromas that lead into fresh strawberry and raspberry fruit in the mouth. The medium, mouthwatering finish has a dusting of powdery tannins. A good complement to roast pork. Drink now to 2011.

Ravines 2008 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $17
Sunny and warm on the nose with aromas of honey, roasted hazelnuts and a touch of petroleum, this medium-bodied dry Riesling surprises with an unexpected austerity in the mouth. It’s an interesting transition, however, resulting in a sleek, steely wine with hints of chalk dust, bitter lime and canned pineapple flavors.

Ravines 2007 Chardonnay (Finger Lakes)
- $19
This Chardonnay has depth, starting with its unfolding nose of ripe Chardonnay fruit, minerals, hazelnut and citrus. The palate offers flavors of pear, citrus and grapefruit, its character refreshing and fruity but somewhat complex. An impressive white that can handle richer dishes.
