With 69 percent Cab and 31 percent Merlot, this blend has smoothed Tannins. Not very complex probably a product of the NY Cab, but an easy drinking wine. August 2023. — 2 years ago

2019 | Chardonnay
Ravines Wine Cellars
Geneva, NY, USA

Always an interesting wine due to Morten's use of appasimento style for 1/5 of the grape harvest.

Honeycomb, dried lemon peel, ripe pineapple core; pineapple puree, lemon zest, butter, oxidized yellow apple peel; long finish, round, complete.

East Coast (ish) vs West Coast Chardonnay

Nose is closed but gives up scents of blueberry strudel, stony gravel, violets. Medium bodied, but tightly coiled. A bit shy, but there’s a nice depth to the flavors, which are of dark berry and cassis, with a nice underlying minerality. Good but soft acids, and some very fine grained tannin. This will certainly develop nicely over the next few years. — 2 years ago

This is the 2019 Chef & Winemaker Cask Aged Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes). My brother said he bought it from Ravines, so it has some connection to them obviously. Nose exhibits some new oak toast, but underneath is crisp, minerally Riesling fruit. On the palate there’s a similar progression: it’s full, with an initial whack of oak followed by lean, austere, minerally Riesling. Unique but I like its individuality. — 3 years ago

A nice white blend that is probably more semi-sweet drinks easily as a semi-dry due to being mildly bubbly. Went very well with a Christmas ham dinner but nice even by itself. — 3 years ago

Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again.
