Forge Cellars
Les Alliés Pinot Noir
This absolutely needs to be decanted or you’ll get nothing but fresh hot dog 💩💩 on the nose. Once allows to breathe it turns into this beautiful earthy Burgundian and sour cherry undertone of a wine. Second glass gets even better.

Dec 6th, 2018I enjoyed this wine, but mistook it for a good and Bretty Beaujolais blind.

Jul 4th, 2018Black cherry, smoke, smoke, smoke (did I mention smoke?) and bark/stem notes. If you told me this wine was created with Forge harvesting by cutting the vines off at the ground and putting the whole mess into a tank,I would totally buy that story. This is the second time on this bottle in 8 months, pretty consistent with the last experience. It's really growing on me, unique profile.

Aug 1st, 2016As with the other Forge Rieslings I've tried, the 2014 Sunrise Hill Vineyard is lithe and electric. it possesses tactile, nervy tension. The nose is somewhat reserved, though swirling reveals white flowers, lime zest, mint and a pinch of granulated honey. It feels very pure—at the core, it's bracing, slightly monotone and accented by lemon pith, and Asian pear that slowly, ever so slowly, dwindles to a slightly chalky finish. Nice with fried oysters. 12.5% ABV | Sample

Feb 15th, 2016Solid little Pinot from NY made by Barroul (St. Cosme). Very light on its feet with tart cherry and leather.
