'04 Arbor Hill (Finger Lakes)
White Labrusca - type discovered in a garden in Vergennes, Vermont in 1874. Open pollinated, probably some vinifera. Mild grape nose; a bit of perfume and spice. Finished dry. Big mouth feel. Tastes of dried fruit and grapes, but not at all cloying. Crisp and well balanced. Resembles Delaware, but lite. Very nice. 12.6% alcohol. For sale in New York only. $7.95 at the winery.
