Forge Cellars

Finger Lakes Pinot Noir 2014

9.1

Forge Cellars is an intriguing collaboration between Louis Barruol, proprietor of St. Cosme in Gigondas, wine grower Rick Rainey, and vintner Justin Boyette. Their 2014 'Classique' Pinot Noir is fine-boned and poised with floral, woodsy aromatics of decaying rose petals, hibiscus, underbrush, and sous. It's translucent quinacridone violet with lean, elegant curves underpinned by high-toned red berries, rose hips and crushed stone that tapirs to a lingering finish. 12.3% ABV | Sample — 11 years ago

Where is it in the Finger Lakes? Seneca would be my guess but I'm so new to that scene.

Christine Havens

That's a great question, Chris. It looks as though they source from many growers, their website doesn't specify which vineyards or where. Interesting.

I've had another Pinot from the Seneca Lake area (on the west of it, in that pocket there) that was very nice, and surprised me with its depth & character for an Atlantic Coast wine. the winemaker was a talented younger guy... I'll find it. I have notes about it somewhere.
