Tierce-riesling-06
Anthony Road Wine Company, Fox Run Vineyards and Red Newt Wine Cellars have announced the release of the third vintage of their co-produced riesling TIERCE, a 2006 Dry Riesling. I thought it had been released over the summer, but apparently not.

Peter Bell, winemaker at Fox Run also let me know this morning that there will not be a 2007 edition because 2007 rieslings from the region "just aren't all that racy." I don't think that is true across the board, maybe the group learned a lesson with their 2005 TIERCE, which I thought lacked acidity the last time I tasted it.

Bell also let me know that the winemaking trio behind TIERCE will be making a 2007 TIERCE red, a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and lemberger.
