Ile de Beaute Rosé Blend 2023

Interesting “Island of Beauty” Rose’ blend of Corsican varietals Niellucciu (40%) and Sciaccarellu (30%) and International varietals Grenache (15%) and Merlot (15%). Pale salmon/pink color. Aromas of fresh red berries and mint. Same red berries on the palate with touches of wet slate. Long mineral laiden finish. Fruit forward, but well balanced, dry and harmonious. Crisp and easy drinking. Excellent QPR! — a month ago

Classique Seneca Lake Dry Riesling 2021

Very interesting and very different from the three previous single vineyard Forge Rieslings we tried. Floral, with a more distinct but still mellow hint of Riesling plastic poncho. A lot of white pepper and cumin, followed by a grassy finish. — 5 months ago

Love this producer and love the single vineyard rieslings. There is an acetone type funk on the note. Steely minerality, white flowers, delightfully dry. — 3 months ago

Aromas of white blossoms and apricot. Citrus, lemon pith. Slightly less acidity and herbal character than their Sunrise Hill, with more tropical fruit. — 5 months ago
