Standing Stone 2008 Vidal Ice Vidal Blanc (Finger Lakes)

  1. $25
Just a whiff of this deep gold Vidal Blanc reveals layers of smoke melded with honey and fresh apples. The palate is deeply complex with flavors that include pretty florals, rich pineapple, citrus and a compelling smoked nut skin note. The super-long finish is marked by zippy acidity and a lovely astringency.  — A.I.  (7/1/2011)

Standing Stone 2008 Ice Riesling (Finger Lakes)

  1. $25
Intensely aromatic of honey, wildflowers and juicy, sweet tangerines, this is a gorgeously complex icewine that balances richness with concentrated flavor and a nervy acidity. Deep gold in color, this silky-smooth elixir carries mouthwatering notes of citrus, honey and flowers all the way through its super-long finish.  — A.I.  (7/1/2011)

Standing Stone 2001 Ice Riesling (Finger Lakes)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
Smells rich and decadent, with aromas of orange marmalade and honey, but still maintains refreshing touches of citrus and pineapple throughout. It's thick and rich in the mouth, and finishes long, with excellent balance. This can easily compete with Canadian ice wines.  — J.C.  (8/1/2003)

Standing Stone 2002 Estate Bottled Riesling (Finger Lakes)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
Atypically ripe, weighty and intense for a Finger Lakes wine, with pear and peach notes buttressed by minerally dry extract. The mouthfeel is thick and viscous and the alcohol level a relatively high 13.1%, but it finishes long and elegantly, with tongue-tingling acids.  — J.C.  (8/1/2003)

Standing Stone 2005 Vidal Ice Vidal Blanc (Finger Lakes)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $25
With an elegance and minerality typical of Standing Stone wines, this Vidal Blanc sets a high standard for Finger Lakes dessert wines. Ripe but subtle aromas of apricot and honey lead to measured, lively layers of pineapple and nutty spice that are rich but balanced. The finish is long but also delicate, tingling on the palate.  — S.K.  (12/1/2007)

Standing Stone 2007 Riesling (Finger Lakes)

  1. $14
A leader in Finger Lakes Rieslings (and wines in general), Standing Stone offers a lovely white with aromas of white flowers, lemon and peach. The overall balance of fruit, citrus, spice and acid gives the wine a delicate but serious touch. On the finish, spice and lemon prevail. Great wine with a touch of playfulness.  — S.K.  (7/1/2009)

Standing Stone 2007 Gewürztraminer (Finger Lakes)

  1. $19
This elegant white starts with an expressive nose of flower petals, lemon and fresh herbs, followed by cinnamon, fresh lychee fruit and spice flavors. A lively finish adds to the pretty, full-bodied character. Pair with Asian, spicy cuisine.  — S.K.  (10/1/2009)
