The 2017 Dry Riesling comes in with four grams per liter of residual sugar and 11% alcohol. Paumanok is one of the best examples on Long Island that proves that Long Island Riesling can be "a thing," even if made exclusively from Long Island grapes. Their own vineyard has maturity, and they've been doing this for a while, so they know what they're doing too. On opening, this has a rather lush feel this year, but that's an illusion. Air and warmth bring out the acidity, and there is plenty of tension on the finish. This very young Riesling needs at least a little time to come together and regain its balance. It should be drinking better this summer (or even next summer). In the meanwhile, it seems like a fine effort in a tough year. It should age very well (it is under screwcap too), perhaps better than anticipated, so there is no rush.
