hi I'm David and I'm Leah and this is wine forecaster so if you've been down to Ithaca and maybe along the west side of Cayuga Lake you'll see that about 10 to 15 minutes north of there there's a series of wineries that are located right along the lake and one of them is fraud snack point vineyards this is a winery that we happen to check out over the summer and this is a bottle that we brought back home with us this is their 2010 proprietor red so friends and I

point is owned by the doodles and they've been farming since 1979 so they've been around for quite a while I in trumansburg mm-hmm the wine label itself has their family crust on followed by the name of the winery in the name of the wine kind of a classy label label and so it was a little crooked on the bottle here which you know I like to see things a little bit neat and I don't know if that's really that or that's their bottling company or

how that works it is a state grown and bottled and what that means that they actually bottled it right there on the estate sometimes I don't know how they do it but I know sometimes there's companies that will come in and they'll bring these chunks in and bottle it right there for them on the estate so they can say that it is a state grown and a state bottle otherwise it gets may be shipped out somewhere else and bottled somewhere else so these are their great too so these are their grace right off their render yeah rather than yourself awesome alright

like a burgundy color you cannot see through the wine only on the fringes it's a purple yeah there's no alcohol content again on the label AIDS you get on there I definitely detect a whole lot of fruit maybe a plum just maybe a prune or to some sort of furnish component to it you

get vegetables just like a hit of like a like a coffee grind mm-hmm I don't get that but seems a little close for me we had this little bit for a bit probably 15 minutes or so before this is 2013 so you don't want to wait too long to ya to drove this bottle to taste like soon she ever seen grape

is that what we're tasting with us a lot of the Finger Lakes mines have a really sweet ass back to even if it's a red wine but this is not sweet at all it's almost vegetal in taste and pallid again I get those beats on their very strongly the beats it's a little pucker inside a little sharpness little little little kind of like semi-dry mm-hmm I

think this would probably open up a little bit more with something to eat what would you pair with us pepper steak yeah definitely a red meat of some kind maybe even a lamb you know done the right way maybe with the cherry sauce or something like that a cherry reduction so I try this again to see if I can get get a little bit of cherry in there I actually timeout cherries okay you spoke your spot on with that that's good like

a dark cherry that's not fully ripe mm-hmm get the federal component that definitely comes in gets lighter at the end the finish I'm not sure what to make of it to be honest it's it's it's different it would be good with this it's blue cheese mm-hmm I think that would probably make this you know accent it maybe make it shine through a little bit more mm-hmm contrasted a little certainly is interesting and it's

interesting to try some of the frames from the Finger Lakes and some of them you know you're familiar with it some of them aren't and we continue to learn as we taste more and more wines and hopefully will encourage you to do the same that's how you learn and that's how you widen your palate you know so used to always having Zinfandel cabernet sauvignon all of a sudden you know how comes this bottle from cayuga lake with a lot of different grapes here and you're not used to having those and so

you don't know how to you don't want to thank all the time I think it said it's a it's a it's a well-made bottle of wine it certainly is very interesting it has some components and characteristics to it that you know we're not always familiar with so that's something to learn I think it would be interesting to try from maybe a different winery a similar type of blend of the more natural grapes from New York State are from

North America and see how this would compare just in taste just a weave a better palate for them instead of you know as you mentioned Cabernet or the more traditional European style wines great anything else you want to add to this bottle of 10 give it a try frontenac point was fun to visit to on a very small tasting room but very intimate they they definitely like to talk to you and educate you if you're interested which was nice they were very

welcoming when we went to if you travel the bottle of wine yeah let us know what you think like to hear some feedback from you so well great thanks for joining us online forecaster today and until our next bottle of wine cheers Cheers
