Apple, grapefruit, peach, lemon, slate and apricot. Raging acidity and good minerality.

Peaches, nectarine, plum skin, melon rind, and clover on the nose. The nectarine and plum skin stand out on the palate with some orange rind and bright acid. Drink now or watch age for a good 5-7 years.

Can't believe that I've to go back to Boston to try that beautiful Finger lakes, biting into a fresh well concentrated grape!

How much do I know about Rkats? Very little. How much do I like this wine? Very much. Predominant grapefruit with other citrus. So fresh.

Had to buy this for the novelty but wasn’t sure about the age, but it turned out pretty tasty. Didn’t really show much age, dark straw w/greenish hue, a lot of different notes coming off this wine, initially kind of citrusy but then it got floral and then as it warmed up more orchard fruit. There was an herbal element and some muskiness. Riesling-esque but also like SB, maybe PB, really enigmatic. Zippy acidity on palate, sharp edges until it warmed up. Lemony & golden apples in the mouth. Clean finish - quite the deal for $12!

Light honeysuckle or floral on the nose. Pear, mild citrus, with a light minerality, typical of the finger lake region on the finish. Nice sipping wine. (Baked perch tagine in a rustic marinara w/ sautéed asparagus/portobellos. Vegetarian option - spinach ravioli stuffed w/ cheese smothered in Alfredo's sauce - at home w/ the girls)
