The best red wine I’ve had from the Finger Lakes. So much fruit and acid and complexity.

Going local to start tonight, even if local is still five hours West of us. HJW makes some of the best wines in the Finger Lakes. This young, single-vineyard CF is wonderful, good tannins and smokey/tobacco notes, had sediment after only laying down for about nine months since purchase at the winery. Only flaw is that the wine is a little light on the finish, but we'll see how it comes around after a few hours of decant.
