This is a sweet dessert wine made from Cayuga Grapes. 

Reviewed by Julia Harding/Jancis Robinson

Estate-grown Cayuga, a New York hybrid. Fermented in barrel and aged in tank. TA 6.4 g/l, pH 3.45, RS 78 g/l.
Unusual aroma, citrus, slightly grapey, and almost minty. But that is probably because I rarely get to taste this variety. Very sweet with that minty flavour on the palate, a touch of almonds too, and very ripe citrus. Marked by the variety and not heavily marked by the oak. Sweetness well balanced by the acidity. Silky texture, rounded out by the oak, I suspect, and a grapey sweetness on the finish. (JH)

 OMG! Our Arandell grapes infused with German Chocolate!!!!!  This wine is a must. Not syrupy but light holding the expression of the red wine only with chocolate. Sweetness without being too sweet.

Tannat

This is a wonderful Tannat Port that has aged 3 years in French Oak Barrels

Winner of the best Port-Style wine at the Alantic Seaboard Competition

Gold Medal

Reviewed by Julia Harding/Jancis Robinson

A port-style made from Tannat grapes purchased from a grower in Shenandoah AVA, from Sherman Ridge Vineyard. pH 3.94, RS 52 g/l. Aged three years in French oak. 
Very dark garnet with smudgy rim. Rich, ripe black fruit but no raisining. Sweet, spicy, the sweetness well balanced by the firm but smooth tannins. Warm from the alcohol and tastes better slightly chilled. There's an attractive savoury side to this port-style wine, slightly leathery, which is a good foil to the sweetness. The tannins build in the mouth. A very good port style, harmonious and sustained. (JH)
