……………………………………………………………
2019 Riesling Ice Wine: 97 points
“What an amazing nose of tropical flowers this stunning ice wine has! Then comes the very concentrated palate that’s as sharp as a samurai sword, so that the analytically generous sweetness is barely perceptible, the super-racy acidity delivering a jolt of primal energy at the breathtakingly fresh finish.”
2019 Late Pick Riesling: 94 points
“Very exotic with stacks of mangosteen, passion-fruit, and guava aromas, together with some sliced pear character makes this wonderfully succulent sweet riesling very appealing. However, what makes it so hard to resist is the super bright acidity that gives it the freshness of a mountain stream at the long finish. “
2020 Limited Release Riesling: 93 points
“Both joyful and well-structured, this Finger Lakes dry riesling has a slew of pear, kiwi, and apple blossom aromas and is brimming with fruit on the ripe yet very focused palate. Impressive depth on the mid-palate, then a touch of fine tannin helps drive the long, mineral finish. Delicious now, but has many years ahead of it.”
2020 Limited Release Cabernet Franc: 93 points
“Deep and complex nose of redcurrant, blackcurrant, dried sage, and baking spice. All at once suave and elegant, yet concentrated and well structured. Long, silky finish with just a hint of bitter chocolate. Excellent aging potential”
