As temperatures rise, the Finger Lakes is positioned well to make very good Pinot Noir's on a more consistent basis. The biggest challenge is having to deal with late spring frosts and early autumn hail. This one is good if not great. From what I have been told, this was a cool, wet vintage in the Finger Lakes. Light ruby in color, clear and bright. It looks to already have some bricking. The nose has cherries and a curious dandelion note. Light to medium bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, a bit of cherry fruit with a fresh plantlike green streak. It would undoubtedly work better with lighter foods but even something like stuffed bell peppers should work well. Drink over the next five years.
