Very dark color. Very dark fruity nose but substantial flavor. A little bit of earthiness. — 2 years ago

One of my favorite reistlings! Smooth and not too sweet, when I open a bottle I tend to drink the whole bottle! — 3 years ago

Not much left on the nose - a little whiff of pomegranate. Super savory and saline notes on the palate. Interesting. — 4 years ago

I feel that this is probably the best Pinot Noir producer out of the finger lakes although the competition is finally a good one. The nose has a wonderful aroma of currant a plum with undertones of spice including nutmeg and mulling spices. The palate is gorgeously light and elegant but still somewhat juicy at the same time. Flavors of plum, sour cherry and baking spice along with wonderfully balance acidity. The finish is soft and elegant with juicy fruit notes of lingering acidity. Wow... a great pairing for roasted pork. — 6 years ago

Ah, the Rocks at Milton-Freewater produce such remarkable and distinctive fruit. Morgan Lee’s take on the Stoney Vine Syrah is outstanding. Earthy, gamey, succulent, dark and full stone fruit (plum) that just keeps going. This is good for another 5 years I think. — 6 years ago

Super wine geek wine time!!! It's the California version of a Pineau d'Aunis. If you know what that is, run (don't walk) to buy some of this wine. Love love love. Only 35 cases made. — 8 years ago

Dark oaky, chocolate, cherry. Amazing for a dark flavorful merlot which i am usually not a fan of chocolate flavors. This one is very smooth and easy to drink, no sweetness is a plus! Definitely recommend especially for the price! — 3 years ago

William bottles one of the best Grenache Blanc world-wide. Brine and dried green herbs on the nose. The herbs carry to the palate with flavors of melon and Asian pear. — 6 years ago

Drank after decanting for few hours. Lot of alcohol taste but good with the pork roast we had. This one has lost some of it's fruit. Still solid. — 6 years ago

Happy belated birthday wine to me.

Nose is all earth and truffles and cigar tobacco; wet forest leaf and barbecue sauce. Some cheese rind and dirty sock. Definitely past it’s aromatic peak, but at 37, who isn’t?

Palate is bright though with red acids and tastes young!

Better on day two... cheese is toned down and some fruit is peeking out. — 3 years ago

This one sat for another 7 months and totally blossomed from my Dec 2017 review. Loads of bright fruit and texture. Perfect balance of acidity, fruit, refined tannins and a uber long finish. Most enjoyable Pinot from Purple Hands. — 6 years ago

Amazing wine......drinking with Rob K who just got promoted (again) to Full Prof (yes the spelling of Full is correct).....at this rate he will be Dean of the Faculty by August. Wine is a wild mixture of petroleum, chocolate, toffee, blueberrys.......everlasting finish......for a 2002 this thing is hitting its prime right now — 7 years ago
