Great structure with body, grippy tannins, strong acid. The flavor takes me to cider town. Left me wanting more. — 4 years ago

In general i was more impressed by the PN in the region on this trip than I was last year. This is a good example of why. Fruit, earth, good acidity. — 5 years ago

I am normally not a Vignoles fan, but this is the best late harvest one I’ve had to date. Burnt caramel and dates. A tangy element too. Sweet and very tangy in the mouth. Not a ton of complexity but a ton of flavor. — 5 years ago

Ten years later. Stupendous. Could go even longer. So much different than my other bottle I opened a few years ago. Well balanced cab franc, cab sauv, merlot blend. Side by side tasting with Ravines 2007 Meritage that was cab sauv heavy blend. Amazing experiment that proved NYS red wine can age well! — 8 years ago

Searing acidity and BLEACHED BONE DRY. Lean and nearly mean. Atypical for Austria. More like A Ravines FL style or old school Mosel Trocken in a cool year. However underneath lurks pure Crystal citrus fruit. Needs 4 yrs to soften up. Only for the hardcore acid freak,I mean really enamel ripping. I like. — 9 years ago

Lip-smacking, well balanced acid with a hint of sweetness. Natural effervescence. Golden hay color. Honeyed apricots and tart Granny Smith apple. Rain soaked limestone. I laid this down for another couple years before opening it. Well done sir....well done! — 7 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading BEETHOVEN (Symphony No. 4), HK GRUBER (Aerial, Concerto for trumpet and orchestra) with the amazing Håkan Hardenberger as the trumpet soloist and then STRAUSS (“Dance of the Seven Veils” from Salome). Andris and Håkan happen to be friends, and both are trumpet players, I expect to see some playful nature to their interaction this afternoon. Mr. Hardenberger is a world renowned and virtuousic player, we're always glad to hear him, this will be his 4th Tanglewood appearance in 5 years. We expect various mutes to be employed over the work, a cow horn (yes it is want you think) and then finishing with piccolo trumpet, exciting to have a soloist work multiple instruments over his appearance!

Nose has green apple peel, dry seashell, cold quince, cut lemongrass and faint green herbals.

Palate has floral/ripe pear, yellow apple, green apple, fresh lemon rind and light sweetness on a medium-long finish. Fun bottle for a warm afternoon!

Off dry blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Valvin Muscat, a new offering for 2019, believe only available to the Wine Club or direct purchase at the winery. — 6 years ago

Friday night random whites...
Fresh, clean and refreshing, light White peach notes. Nose is attractive, but a little too cold on first taste, so slightly closed initially.
Off-dry blend of NY's Finger Lakes region Cayuga & Vignoles, nose is really opening up nicely with some air and warming of the wine in the glass. Not overly complex, but this is a solid buy for the $10/$13 (wine club/retail) price. — 8 years ago

A tale of two Francs. More grip and terroir expression here. Darker berries, longer finish. Comparable quality to the Ravines, just with different character. — 11 years ago
