2020 vintage. Wow. Medium ruby color. Red fruit aroma. Flavors of raspberry and strawberry jam, herbal note (lovage?), some bell pepper with moderate acid, little tannin depending on the temperature. Give it a moment, it will open up after 10 minutes in your glass. — 3 years ago

Mid Ruby in colour. Red fruits of cherry and strawberry with a bit of whole bunch influence on the nose. The palate showing savoury red fruits but also a little sweetness. Certainly a good future in front of it - I should try the next one in 1 to 2 years time. Tom Carson has probably never made a bad wine in his life and he has a great terroir to work with when he is not in demand for judging at Royal Shows. Tasted another bottle 65 weeks later on 24th July 2022. Quite red cherry on the nose and palate. Sooty notes from whole bunch in the ferment. The perfect balance between sweet and savoury. — 5 years ago

Quite light ruby garnet , wide garnet rim . On the nose this shows red currant , wild strawberry , dry spice , dried rose , herbal touches and tangerine peel . The palate is quite elegant with wild strawberry , red currant and those fresh herbal hints , with just a touch of bitterness . Fresh acidity , and slightly gritty tannins . Quite refreshing with good length and balance, that touch of bitterness doesn’t detract from the rest of wine. This is quite linear and focused, perhaps slightly strict , uncompromising in style , but probably has a few years left in the cellar and might improve over the next 2-3 years and last well a further 5 or so. — 8 months ago

Really interesting 11 years of age. Honey, butterscotch, apricot, some flowers but a secondary flavor type of wine. Chard is balanced by semillion. Tasting good. — 3 years ago

Last bottle of this vintage and think it should be drunk now. It will likely last another 10 years but may not be same quality. Decanted this for 30-40 minutes and it opened up slightly. Very smooth on tannins and mellow. — 3 years ago

Nose of dark fruits. Clean and somewhat crisp. Very smooth on the palette. Could use a little aging. — 9 months ago

9.0

Deep violet hue, elegant legs. Nose has a rich floral bouquet of violets with spicy bramble berry perfume and a subtle hint of cherry nibs. Palate is outstanding for a 2016 (although probably has peaked) with flavours of dried fruit, prune, cedar and playful, well balanced tannins. — a year ago

Pale lemon color.
Aromas of lemon, brioche.
Dry. Flavors of fresh lemon, lemon zest, mineral. Delicious! Could pass for Champagne!

Yah. This is a good ‘un. For sure would buy again. On the big side of cab at the start, with a light-medium finish. I can use this in my life. — 3 years ago

Don’t sleep on the finger lakes or you might miss out on some fine Rieslings. This cuvée has a strong act 1, solid Act 2, and a citrusy mouthwatering denouement. — 5 years ago
