A rare example of a good FLX Pinot. Very different from France or Oregon though. Nice cherry undertones with a light smokey and nut finish. One of the better producers of reds on Seneca Lake shows why they know how to maximize the potential of this region. Their other refs are also worth trying too. — 11 years ago
As good a cab franc as can be found in the finger lakes. Crushed blackberry, bramble, black pepper, good acid. Nice finish. A well made wine. — 13 years ago

Very nice red blend for the finger lakes. This particular winery specializes only in red wines. Very nice atmosphere and they are wonderful hosts that are really knowledgeable. Winetasting would think you’re drinking California reds — 4 years ago
