2010 Baco Noir Old Vines Mason Place
Vineyards Pulteney Farms
This wine comes from vines that are more than 60 years old. The berries are dark and ripe. The wine is all handmade, and unfiltered and unrefined. It’s aged in French oak barrels. The major profile of this wine is it’s deep dark sour cherry flavor, with hints of plum and prune, and big whiffs of vanilla and fallen leaves. A medium palate wine, this is a soft approachable red that has become one of the signature wines of the Hudson-Chatham stable.
Chardonnay
Lightly oaked, Lively acidity with subtle fruit.
Freelings Creek Chardonnay
Grapefruit and citrus. Hints of oak and apple.
Cabernet Franc
With a medium salmon pink hue and the profile of a classic French Loire Valley dry rosé, this wine presents a beautiful balance of fruit flavors, refreshing acidity, and a clean, crisp finish. On the palate you get bright red fruits of cherry, watermelon, lime and raspberry which continue to a crisp, dry finish of minerals, white flowers and savory herbs classically found in Cabernet Franc Rosé.
Doyle Fournier Vineyard Riesling
Doyle Fournier Vineyard is adjacent and uphill from Silver Thread Vineyard, and has deeper, silt-loam soils. This vineyard was planted in 1973 by Charles Fournier, one of the founding fathers of the modern Finger Lakes wine industry. A classic “Banana Belt” Riesling, this wine has ample stone fruit and pear aromas, plus more weight in the mouth than a typical Riesling. Medium dry. Seneca Lake appellation.
Doyle Family Gewurtztraminer
An extraordinarily complex, full flavored Gewürztraminer produced by fermenting in neutral oak barrels with extended “sur lie” aging. This Alsacian-styled Gewürztraminer is full bodied and offers a creamy, toasty character and subtle floral, rose petal and spice nuances.
Maguire Riesling
This Riesling vineyard feels as if it could be easily forgotten as trees surround it and it is nestled near the lake. Nonetheless, it provides a powerful expression of Riesling. The potential alcohol is higher and the delivery of the flavors is more powerful. It is the opposite of what many expect in the Finger Lakes - light, green apple, high acid and zingy. It is contrary to all of that. It is rich, apricot, ripe peach, mature acid and mouth filling. If you were to think of Riesling in the controversial terms of male and female…this is a “manly” Riesling.
