RP8989 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Jun 2021 The 2020 Chardonnay Unoaked is very dry and comes in at 13.5% alcohol. The winery described this as a ripe vintage, and this sure has some stuffing. Relatively full-bodied and chock-full of fruit — not always the norms for the Finger Lakes — this is delicious on the finish, with just enough acidity to support the fruit. I might yearn for a bit more power, but the rest here is pretty super. It will be interesting to see how this ages. It is well priced for the quality too. Sourced from 20-year-old vines, there were 400 cases produced.
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, April 28, 2022 Complex savory and redcurrant nose with plenty of herbal nuances. Very satisfying interplay of ripeness and freshness, the healthy tannins very neatly balancing the hint of berry sweetness at the long finish. A cuvée of 85% cabernet franc with 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot. Drink or hold.SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2022 Friendly and direct, with cherry and pomegranate notes backed by a light singed cedar spine. Ends with a savory edge. Drink now. 900 cases made.
JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, October 30, 2018 Stunning papaya nose, then a very concentrated and succulent palate with a very vibrant finish that whips you along at a terrific clip. Drink or hold.RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Feb 2019 The 2018 Riesling Ice Wine, made by winemaker David Breeden, was picked on January 14, 2018, and bottled on July 1, 2018. It comes in with 11.8% alcohol, 184 grams of residual sugar and 7.4 of total acidity. This, the winery is proud to point out, is a “true” ice wine — frozen on the vine, not cryogenically. The difference, they say, “is the level of concentration… prior to fermentation,” which they described as 27.29 Brix for cryogenic versus close to 40 for this wine frozen on the vine. “Additionally, grapes left out in the elements turn brown and have a raisin-like quality… the ‘Maillard Reaction’… converts sugars and amino acids into new compounds which are responsible for new and distinctive flavors…” After that buildup, you expect me to tell you this is dense and concentrated and all that? Sort of. It has plenty of concentration, but we are still in the Finger Lakes. Ice Wine, actually, is often surprisingly fresh and elegant, and not just in the Finger Lakes. It does not seem either thick or cloying, but it has a perfect expression of Riesling that doesn’t fade. It has all the complexity the winery mentioned. It is all about the fruit and character, although it could use a bit more depth. After two days in the fridge, it was brighter, livelier and better, every grape, seemingly, defined and expressive as it sat on the tongue. I bet this ages well, perhaps better than anticipated, but you can enjoy this incarnation right now if you must. It will be better in a couple of years and very different in ten — they are often more interesting with age and gentle oxidation. There were 400 six-packs produced (375-milliliter bottles, to which the price refers).
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th May 2021 The 2020 Riesling Ice Wine was picked on January 20, 2020, at 15 degrees, and bottled in June 2020. It comes in with 11.8% alcohol, 198 grams of sugar and 9.7 of total acidity. This, the winery is proud to point out, is a “true” ice wine — frozen on the vine, not in a freezer. Keeping its sugar under control, this aromatic ice wine offers freshness, not just cloying fruit. It does have a somewhat darker flavor profile, perhaps even a hint of reduction. That should get better. All the while, it seems remarkably concentrated in mouthfeel. This is both delicious and beautifully structured. There’s a long finish, full of flavor and surprisingly refreshing, relatively speaking. It should age quite well, probably better than indicated, but I am always conservative in such things. The price references a half bottle, from which this was tasted. There were 650 six-packs produced.SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 31, 2021 Apricot and tangerine notes burst forth in this orange zest–laced dessert wine, finishing with a flash of honeycomb. Nicely done. Drink now through 2026. 325 cases made.
