At first I got apple fruit and minerality, and then some citrus and herbal flavors developed. There's a perfect acidic snap to this wine. This is an uncommon variety and a nice change from familiar flavor profiles. I have tasted other years at the winery and sometimes it's peachier and more like a Riesling. But kudos to Frank and other Finger Lakes wineries for highlighting unusual varieties and being different in interesting ways.
