Very plummy fruit with cherries and cut grass. There was a pleasant tingly acidity. Merlot often has an overly earthy minerality that I don't like, which is at least partly a matter of where it's grown. This wine doesn't have that earthiness, instead the minerality is dry stone. I thought the tannins were pretty light, and this is light bodied in general, just a little alcoholic in the finish. This drinks very easily. It's not as complex as many Merlots, but it's very pleasant. — 9 years ago

Under synthetic cork so we knew we needed to drink it... Showing beautiful Riesling age with hints of petrol but still has a fresh zippy lime presence. Perfect with super spicy chicken tacos. — 11 years ago

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 9 years ago

A surprisingly refreshing, dry, Riesling with a nice mineral note, talc ... But still with a fruity Riesling tone. I'd buy it again. And at this price - it's a steal — 9 years ago

Perfectly balanced, well integrated, and pairs best with good conversation. Even for an Italian, this Tempranillo gives any Nebbiolo a run for its money. — 11 years ago

Sweet start and a dry minerally finish. Highly recommended. Great with raman. — 12 years ago
