TASTING NOTE: 2014 Eminence Road - Pinot Gris - Cayuga Lake Vineyard - Golden colored with a nose of almond, honeysuckle and baby aspirin. Rich in the mouth, it finishes clean with lingering dusty limestone and honey-lemon notes. Pair this wine with stronger cheeses, Caesar salad or country style chicken.

SENECA LAKE VINEYARD: Located in Ovid, New York on the western shore of Cayuga Lake and is composed of Howard gravelly loam derived from shale, limestone and slate. The vineyard's gentle, well drained slope towards the lake and east facing exposure combine to create a perfect site for cool climate viticulture. This vineyard produces wine of great finesse with bright, mineral studded acidity
