8.9

Faint sour cherry nose. Nice color. Hints of spice. Very nicely integrated fine tannins providing good structure. There is a lot of poor Pinot Noir in the Finger Lakes. This is not one of them. — 4 days ago

Perfumed dark fruit. Earthy. Really very good. And unusual for a Finger Lakes cab franc. I usually find them to be musty. This is much more like a Bolgheri or Bordeaux cab franc. I think this is the best Finger Lakes Cab Franc I’ve ever tasted. — 4 days ago

8.9

Very classic. Oak comes through a bit, but not overwhelming. Not vanilla but I think a hint of the barrel char. Very mellow tree fruit, hints of spice. Really good complexity — 4 days ago

8.8

Deeper red than the regular Pinot here. Rounder. Not particularly aromatic. Nice tannins. Good rich black fruit. The higher alcohol makes this much oilier, heavier and sweeter than the regular pinot noir here even though they have the same reserve sugar. — 4 days ago

An almost nutty bouquet. Tangy, minerality, good density. Interesting fruit that I can’t place. Underripe peach? Light apricot? Faint mint in the finish. — 4 days ago
