A surprising and very strong pinot noir out of Seneca Lake. The wine is young but intensely aromatic and floral, violets and lilies as if this were Vosne-Romanee, and the aroma lasts until long after the wine was gone from the glass. The wine itself was delicate and cooler climate in style. Not quite as earthy as Burgundy but more restrained in fruit and elegant in texture. It is crazy this wine retails under $25. — 3 months ago

Red fruit, subtle tar, and subtle green aroma; cooked bell pepper, raspberry, and red currant. Silky front, medium body, and a lightly tannic finish. Super smooth, yet robust for its age. Notes of red fruit, some cocoa and milk chocolate, and subtle smoke. — 5 months ago

Another solid vintage of this consistently good FLX dry Riesling. Aromas fresh herbs and yellow apple. Hints of white flowers as it opens up. Flavors of golden delicious apple, Asian pear, lemon/lime, almonds and orange zest. Crisp acidity, smooth texture and bone dry. Solid value. Thanks for saving me a glass, Chris B! — a year ago

Young but coming together and already drinkable. Heavy on the raspberry, tannins manageable but a bit sharp, though only mildly astringent for such a young wine. I like it, would be curious to see where it goes. — 2 years ago

Pine needles, licorice, grass.

Nice acidity, between the two Rieslings I picked up, I prefer the Forge reserve. It had a bit more personality. I hate comparing two wines side by side, but it’s just the circumstance.

Still, pretty solid everyday wine. — 3 years ago

Very classic. Oak comes through a bit, but not overwhelming. Not vanilla but I think a hint of the barrel char. Very mellow tree fruit, hints of spice. Really good complexity — 3 days ago

An almost nutty bouquet. Tangy, minerality, good density. Interesting fruit that I can’t place. Underripe peach? Light apricot? Faint mint in the finish. — 3 days ago

Golden straw color, light petrol on the nose. Lifted and airy texture on the palate from sandy silt loam vineyard soils. Quite dry - but not quite bone dry - with 2g/L residual sugar. Honeysuckle, acacia honey, apricot. — a month ago

I tried it 5 days after my wife opened it and it was a little muted, but still very good. Impressive. — 2 years ago

Good. Started with a surprising honeysuckle note given the description was sage, pear blossom and autumnal. Mellowed out and lost that taste. Got more full bodied. Liked it but not as much as others. Not as less as others too. Would think about getting again. — 3 years ago
