Nose has sliced yellow apple, sliced green apple, green melon, faint green table grapes and a light oak touch.

Palate has ripe pineapple, lychee, light caramel, light honey and medium (somewhat neutral) oak/vanilla; medium finish.

A very solid effort for the new, second label from Ravines Wine. I'll gladly pull some of these into our future wine club ships, at under $15 this is solid buy.

Opened one day prior to contribute to our braising liquid for chicken thighs. — 10 days ago

I prefer reds - but a good buttery white is also fine with me. This is pleasantly buttery but still has crisp mouthwatering acidity with pear and butterscotch on the palate. Clean finish. — 15 days ago

Very fruity on the nose and palate. I get red and black fruits. Cherries and black currants are very prevalent. Had it chilled and warm, delicious both ways. A very very enjoyable wine. — 19 days ago

Slightly aromatically challenged, but hints of honey and white flowers lead to a palate of orange and lemon, lemon pith, grapefruit, lilacs, and hint of wet stone and salinity. Good balance and zippy acidity but a bit tart on the finish. Still a very enjoyable wine! — a month ago

Date drank: August 2018
Year: 2014
Producer: Bloomer Creek
Grape(s): 50% Reisling, 50% cayuga white
Region: Cayuga Lake. Finger lakes. NY
Distributor/Importer: na
Natty: yes. Low input organic vineyards. No sulfer added
Tasting Notes: First, the nose was amazing, very aromatic with hints of orange peel, honey, lemon maybe ? Its a late harvest but fermented to dryness and amazingly balanced with fruit and sweetness while also being dry and clean. Doesnt cloy and goes well with fish or light summer vegetables. I still dream about this wine — 3 days ago

this was honestly one of the best Pinot Noirs I have had. With all the Forge hype these days i didn’t want to like this as much as i did - trying to adjust for the hype bias, but I couldn’t stop drinking it - beautifully fruit forward with soft cherries and perfect tannins. Young but meant to drink young in my humble opinion. — 24 days ago
