Wine Review: This slightly cloudy dark red colored Merlot driven red blend from the Finger Lakes opens with a dried cherry and light cranberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a light black plum and saline blend with notes of green tea and dried cherry. I also detected some hints of vanilla in the aftertaste. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger nicely. I would pair this food friendly red blend with a burger. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Cross-Rows: A perfectly integrated neighborhood. Six Rows, randomly inter-planted with Merlot, Syrah and Lemberger, harvested and fermented together. A true blend made in the vineyard.
