Red Tail Ridge Winery
RTR Vineyard Pinot Noir
I hope everyone is doing well here at the onset of the first weekend in October? I have opened the 2017 Red Tail Ridge RTR Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir from Finger Lakes New York.
On the nose there is cherry, red raspberry, a good funk, hibiscus, clove and wet earth.
On the palate I get cherry, red raspberry, cranberry, spice, dried leaves, minerality and damp earth.
This wine is a beautiful translucent ruby that is medium to medium + bodied with medium + acidity and medium smooth fine tannins that has a long red fruit mineral finish. I hope everyone is doing well staying safe and healthy? Have a great delightful weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Cherry, strawberry, watermelon and raspberry. Good acidity and balance.

Jul 1st, 2019PSA- 2011s from quality producers in the lakes are peaking. RTR Pinot is a perfect example. Fruit hanging around a dense, brown sugar/ cinnamon core. For anyone smart enough to hold on to Rieslings or Pinots from 2011- good job and open up!

Jul 24th, 2015A solid Pinot from a difficult vintage. Cherry core and a distinct Pinot-ness that is no easy task in cool years in the FLX.

Dec 27th, 2013Fresh and fruity -- red cherries and raspberries -- with raw mushroom earthiness and subtle lavender notes. Maybe a bit dilute on the palate but not watery.

Dec 26th, 2013Enjoyed at the winery, but this bottle was quite thin in body and flavor. Light cherry and rhubarb notes. Drinkable and tasty, but a weaker wine.
