  Impenetrable deep purple in color with a nose of new leather, red berries and tomato leaf. On the palate, this wine is medium weight with a creamy mouthfeel and flavors of cassis, raspberry and smoked meat. Finish is medium length and defined by red apple. Definitely the best bold red I've had from the Finger Lakes.

  Powerful and very dry. Dried fruit, currants, and even berries are the dominant fruit qualities. Blackberry and plum hide until the finish. Excellent wine to pair with rich foods. This drinks like an extremely well made "impressive" wine.

  I am continually impressed with how well this grape does in the cool Finger Lakes climate. The jammy, black fruit on the nose offer deep sweet notes of blackberry and plum. The palate has a textured, tannic black fruit. Sweet and savory herbs, good power in the mid palate, rich note on the finish.

  Lovely color. The nose shows aromas of dark berries, spices, oak, flowers and a hint of pepper. This is medium full bodied on the palate with very good concentration and good class. The medium plus length finish features ripe tannins. Very well made...
