Really opened after 2 hours. Intense bright fruit nose layered with herbs and smoke. Palate is pure, medium fresh fruit with hints of leather and earth. Color is light. Smooth medium finish. Excellent for Finger Lakes.

Aged in neutral french oak for 4 years. Good color. The nose is clean, showing ripe berries, spices, decaying leaves, cedar, herbs and a hint of pepper. This is medium bodied on the palate with very good concentration and good class. The fairly long finish features oak tannins and hints of clove. These wines are made in a Rioja style and there is some oxidation...

Beautiful. Smooth, complex with cedar and violet on the nose and palate. Stunning Finger Lakes wine.

Finger Lakes Vacation 2017; 9/4/2017-9/8/2017 (Finger Lakes, New York, USA): Tasted at the winery. Strong oak influence, port fruits, spices, and anise. Medium tannin, medium(+) acid, should hold and develop for several years. "Very good," 89/100.
