Apollo’s Praise The Knoll Dry Riesling 2024 Review
Longtime Finger Lakes winemaker Kelby James Russell started Apollo’s Praise with partner Julia Rose Hoyle in 2023 when they acquired the Lahoma Vineyard, a 20-acre site on the west side of Seneca Lake renowned for its steely, complex Rieslings. The Knoll bottling is named after a small sandstone hill on the property that produces particularly concentrated wines. This Riesling is powerful across the nose and palate with intense notes of citrus, juicy peaches, and rose petals. The wine’s opulent fruit character is balanced by its spritzy, sea spray minerality and acidity.
