This wine was reviewd by world renowned wine critic Julia Harding with the following notes:

Score 16.5 (supeior/distinguished)

Made from Cayuga White (a complex hybrid selected in New York in 1052 and released in 1972), traditional method, aged three years on the lees. Dosage just 2 g/l. pH 3.15.
The citrus, herbal and green-fruits aroma dominates the nose so that the yeasty autolytic character is subtle. It was quite frothy when first poured but settled down in the glass to a fine mousse and a much more obvious toasty character. There's a slight sweet-sour impression on the finish even though the residual sweetness is so low. Packed with fruit but it's in balance with the traditional-method complexity from the yeast lees. Impressive for a hybrid variety, which has benefited from being taken seriously in the winery, with the investment needed for long lees ageing. (JH)

Aromas of citrus, apricot and pineapple. This wine has a beautiful nose, crisp and full of flavor. It's on of the most aromatic wines we have tasted. Very few wines throw some salt, making this wine so perfect with Thai food. The sweet, sour and salt in this wine makes it a perfect pairing. Excellent paired with Thai Beef Salad.

Cayuga/Chardonnay we blended this wine with a tad of Chardonnay.  You won't find any over oaking here.

SILVER MEDAL IN THE SHENANDOAH CUP 2022

, Bosc pears, marjoram on the finish, white tea, layered. This wine was late harvested giving it some mouth-feel.  It's a big white wine that really pairs well with Umami.   Umami is a fifth taste that is often described as savory, meaty, or earthy.   We found this wine paired well with Rabbit.

   This is one of our best white wines to date. Think PEACHES. Enjoy this lovely, light, crisp wine, full of aromatics of peaches which follows through with lots of flavor.

Aromoa's of strawberries, elegant, beautiful salmon color, nicely balance and a favorite of guests.   Not sweet at all at .01% RS   This has fruit forward notes but dry.  A excellent wine.

If you love Big Red wines, this is a lovely grape that is compared to Cab Sav.   We put a touch of American Oak on it, otherwise it spent it's life in French Oak.   This dry lovely balanced wine is stunning. Earthy, mouth-watering, fruit compote, lingering, and soft.

2019 was a sell out.  This wine is 50% Tannat and 50% Arandell.   Big and Bold wine that certainly has some nice tannins and structure.   Think cherry, cranberry, and rhubarb.   Intensity is complex.  Beautiful long length.
