Just enough bubbles to make you go hmmmmm. Soft crisp mild so mild tartness. — 5 years ago

Superb balance as even though it’s dry it has lots of body and mouthfeel. Lots of Riesling character. The only weak area imho is that it finishes a bit harsh and does not linger. But another really fantastic wine from this top producer. — 6 years ago

An excellent wine but not an irreplaceable one. Does not push the boundary and remains too conservative. — 7 years ago

Whoa, what a sneaky wine. Very subtle upfront and then an explosion of citrus, passionfruit flavors all in perfect harmony.  — 7 months ago

2021. Probably their best vintage of CF. Light body at first but once it opens it has lively fruit with no annoying green. Very complex and intriguing. — 2 years ago

This is a wine of distinction, noses full of flavour whilst delivering a crisp but smooth rounded velvet experience on the palate. From Napa It sets a high boundary for USA wines to follow. — 6 years ago

Dark fruit with spice and caramel. Took some time to open up and then acid smoothed out leaving a medium jammy finish. Looks heavy in the glass, but nicely balanced nose and lighter palate than expected. — 7 years ago

Decent tannins, spice, hint of vanilla. Drinking very nicely now, but don’t think there is enough acidity or tannin for this to last for the long haul. Very nice drinkable wine now, though. — 7 years ago

Dry & mineral, a bit of grilled pineapple & green apple. The Finger Lakes has a well-deserved reputation for its Riesling. — 7 months ago

9.0

A supple fragrance of leaf fronds and slight tropical fruits like pineapples, lychee, and mangoes. Finally some underlying pine aromas.

A little less balanced, but in a good way. Leaning towards higher acid, but the tropical sweet notes balance this out, which is a nice playfulness.

It looks stunning in a glass, and has that end note of unctuous salinity and the overall freshness of skiing through pines. — 6 years ago

No. 2 in the Vosne Romanee Grand Cru bracket. Tasted blind. My brief note (sensory overload has set in again!): A perfumed woody smokiness - sweet and gorgeous with a beautiful texture and mouthfeel. “ With Romanee Conti to its eastern boundary it is similar but slightly different. Les Richebourgs to its northern boundary. La Romanee is a Monopole owned by the Liger-Belair family and is the smallest appellation in France at. 0.8452 hectares producing only 250 to 350 cases each vintage. A wonderful wine with at least 2 decades of cellaring before it reaches its peak. — 6 years ago

A really fun wine. Carbonation added, but makes a very pleasant bubbly to enjoy with friends and food. But behind the fun is a pretty decent finger lakes Riesling . — 7 years ago
