At first I got apple fruit and minerality, and then some citrus and herbal flavors developed. There's a perfect acidic snap to this wine. This is an uncommon variety and a nice change from familiar flavor profiles. I have tasted other years at the winery and sometimes it's peachier and more like a Riesling. But kudos to Frank and other Finger Lakes wineries for highlighting unusual varieties and being different in interesting ways.

Bright and clear. Intense aromatics and palate with borderline tropical fruit (stone fruits). Rounded body and good acidity. Complex and gorgeous freshness. Loved it!
