Keuka Lake Vineyards
Finger Lakes Leon Millot
Finger Lakes, New York, USA
Leon Millot is the name of the grape. A hybrid developed in Alsace in the early 1900s and carried over to the Finger Lakes. Startlingly saturated color. Almost Petite Sirah-like. Dense purple mountain berry nose with a bit of spice and crushed stone. Not as heavy in the mouth as the color would lead you to anticipate. Zingy acids and brisk, dry berry fruit. Tannin just barely noticeable. Only 12.3% alcohol. Nice accompaniment to turkey soup made with the leftover carcass from Thanksgiving.

Fruit forward, cherries and red currant, subtle earthy notes, easy drinking.

Solid and consistent FLX red. Aromas of mature blackberry and black currants. Dark berry flavors with a hint of black pepper spice and dark chocolate. Soft and long finish. Intense purple color. High acidity makes this wine quite refreshing.
