Absolutely first rate, as Steve Shaw wines always are.

Still has some amazing flavor. Smoky. Oak is a bit overused. Tart cherry is still very prevalent. Thoroughly enjoy a good vintage of red wine from the #flxwine

This is really good. The first thing that hit was a peppery nose. Then there was dry cherry and dry strawberry with tart acidity. Chocolate, pine needles and oak come up as you drink it. Minerality is dry stone and a little earth. This is not a fruit forward Pinot. It's relatively light bodied with old school burgundy complexity coming in. The peppery tartness stood up to Thanksgiving turkey and gravy. I'm glad I bought several bottles.

Fruit candy flavors (i.e. Jolly ranchers), weak structure and a disappointing finish. Even when only compared to other Finger Lakes wine, this bottle came up short.
