J.R. Dill
J.R. Dill operates in New York's Finger Lakes region, where cool-climate conditions favor both aromatic white varieties and structured reds. The winery produces a Riesling and Dry Riesling, expressions of a grape that thrives in the region's glacial soils and moderate growing season. A Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the portfolio, demonstrating the winery's range across varietal styles. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling at 87 points each, with the Dry Riesling at 85.5 points. The Finger Lakes' diurnal temperature swings—warm days, cool nights—allow grapes to develop acidity and complexity while ripening fully, a signature of the region's terroir.
