Really solid and surprisingly special Pinot Gris here. Nice muted tropical aromas that don't attack with tutti fruitiness but offer a nice freshness.
Rounded mouthfeel with lip smacking acidity. Truly impressed by this effort. — 10 years ago

2010 Freedom Run #Meritage #Merlot #CabFranc #CabSauv #NiagaraEscarpment #NYWine. Lively, black cherry, cassis & wild berry intertwined with spicy vanilla, tobacco and a whiff of earth. Perhaps a little reminiscent of right bank #Bordeaux from a warm vintage. #wine #sommelier #sommlife — 10 years ago

Smells like a sauv blank but classic off-dry Riesling on palate. Hammer don't hurt 'em — 10 years ago
Showing very well out of the gate. Lots of exploding fruits like black cherry but still showing secondary flavors of savory spices and organic earth. Showing nice acid and a silky finish. — 11 years ago

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 10 years ago
