Gonna start spending more time with NY wine again… A pungent, kinda intense rosé - Floral and strawberry, drinks a lot more ripe than the ABV suggests, but lots of acid to balance.

Light pink color. Complex aromas and flavors of red strawberries/plums/raspberries, cranberries, grapefruit, kiwi, watermelon, wild flowers and fresh herbs. Pleasant mineral note on the long finish. Zesty acidity and lovely texture. Crisp and refreshing. Pleasant surprise and very well made. Thanks for sharing Ron B and Aaron B!

Strong reviews, and I’m enthusiastic about local wines, but this isn’t doing it for me. Flat, bitter petrol, lacking complexity and flavor.

Beautiful Cab Franc nose, bright tight low tannin, substantial fruit.

So fun to try this side-by-side with the 2019. Unusually light for this varietal but delicious! Cranberries and tangy red fruit.

This is the rose and it is delightful! Great strawberry flavor and beautifully dry while still full of flavor.
