<p>2014 was a relatively normal growing season overall, the biggest concern being fears of winter damage from the winter prior. These concerns ended up not impacting the quality or quantity of the harvest versus the long term average, however An even harvest with several dry and sunny stretches that helped both for ripening and selecting harvest dates. The gradual cooling down of post-harvest into winter did occur slightly earlier than normal, around the third week of October as opposed to early November. <br /><br />A textural and spicy dry Riesling that plays off the unique attributes of the long ripening required of Bullhorn Creek. Built to grow over many years in bottle in this delicate style which is a tribute to classic Finger Lakes Rieslings that have come before. <br /><br />RS: 0.5% TA: 7.95g/L pH: 3.15 ALC: 11.3%</p><p><a href="https://www.rednewt.com/2020/06/27/2014-riesling-bullhorn-creek/" title="wine byte video"><img src="https://www.secureclubva.net/images/RedNewt/document-images/wine-byte-thumbnail-prod-notes-300x194.PNG" style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" /></a></p>
