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

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

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

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

9.0

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 little thin, $13 a bottle, a bit like a Beaujolais, not quite as fruity. — 10 years ago
