I can smell the Mondavi Cellar with French oak in in this glass a tart cherry with mouthful of cherry and vanilla that confirms the noise. A fantastic New world Pinot I think those that rated this before me had it to young. The balance of acidity, alcohol and flavor have come forward. — 6 years ago
A good example of a Fingerlakes Gewurtz with apple, pair and med plus acidity. — 6 years ago
Wow. The tannins have mellowed the balance is integrated and this is fresh with flavors and aroma of new oak. Wish I had more! — 6 years ago
Mouth full of black fruit and with a balance of acidity and tannins that just wants to let you hold it in the mouth. 40 CS 27 CF 14 Malbec, 14 Merlot 5 PV. — 6 years ago
Rim is still ruby and clear, nose has lost the fruit but palate still gets some dark fruit. Good Balance of tannins and alcohol. Drink now as heading past prime. — 6 years ago

I lean toward liking medium bodied high acidity wines with blackberries and dark cherry notes so I really like this wine. Cool marketing with interesting story. Great job Ravenswood team! — 6 years ago

This one was built to age more in a high quality German style. This has complexity that only a few will understand and changes with temperature. Not a typical Mainstream NY Seneca Lake Riesling- yes minerals are there with bone dry tingle and at first you think it is too burnt floral with petrol but if you give it a chance the long finish provides the fruit at the end that satisfies the palate — 6 years ago
