Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2015

After some rough natural wines today this was a nice reprieve and back to the basics. Easy drinking with good structure and complimentary flavors for the T-bone we had for dinner. Earthy forest notes on the nose and some blackberry and vanilla. Good structure and acidity, fine on its own but great with food. Need to get up to finger lakes soon to try some more. — 7 years ago

Forge Cellars

Les Alliés Pinot Noir 2014

This is money people. I dare you to taste side by side with Willamette. Barnyard prominent nose with red fruit background and very tarragon, red blossom floral component. On the palette firm tannins a little tight actually finish will improve with 2-3 in the cellar not much more. Great with barBq plate. Acid, tannin balance is solid but again in 2-3 look out. Great effort here. — 9 years ago

Check it out. We had a Cab Franc from Ravines in Maine in this summer and it was very Loire Valley esque. I ordered some and had to try to Pinot. I will get some more.

Finger Lakes Grüner Veltliner 2014

Apples, stones, herbs, spice and lemon curd. Delicious. Balanced. Great minerals and length. There seems to be a hint of RS, which aids in the balance. Could be a perfect summer house wine. — 10 years ago

@Arden Barnett : Not that I’ve seen, but if you find any, let me know. Some of their rieslings score quite well. A buddy of mine at Classic has a small stash and will bust one out from time to time. If you ever make your way there, let me know and maybe we can open one.
