“The reds from Glacier Ridge Vineyard have a power and structure that is unique to the Finger Lakes; a credit to the spectacular vineyard they hail from and management by Tony Damiani. Put simply, our single vineyard bottlings from Glacier Ridge try and stay out of the way of the vineyard and let the fruit and vintage speak for themselves. The result is classic, ripe Cabernet Franc; structural complexity and length on the palate, raspberry and violet notes on the nose, all tied together by the smokiness that is typical of the Glacier Ridge Vineyard.” More at Rednewt.com
