7th of 11 bottles (2 gifted). PnP. Pale golden. Apples. pears on the nose. Grapefruit, lime and apples on the intensely flavored palate. This, the 2019 Classique, widely available at discount, is unique and a stunning value. A great introduction to Forge Cellars. (89-91).

PnP. Nose of grass, and palate of intense - very intense - grapefruit and lime, a unique flavor profile. Almost a "fruit" wine. Displaying more concentrated than my last bottle, consumed just one week ago. With airing, the intensity of the fruit mellows just a bit, and the wine displays just a touch of minerality. Forge is a special producer of Finger Lakes wines. This, Forge's entry level cuvee, is an excellent value, until recently available in my area, incredibly, on sale for as little as $13 a bottle. For more complexity, check out Forge's single vineyard bottlings, which come at a slightly higher tariff.

Couleur dorée, pétrole et minéral au nez et goût. Un vin sec.
