David Landsel of the New York Post stopped by our winery last week during his trip to the area. He had been working on a travel story focusing on Lewiston, Niagara Falls and the Niagara area wineries. His objective was to report on winter wines, aka ice wine and late harvest styles but we happily showed him a few of our estate selections we have yet released. We can honestly say that he was impressed. Here are some quotes from the NY post website article:
About our 2008 Estate Riesling…
“I remember the promise demonstrated in the 2005 Semi-Dry that I'd had the evening before, but my hosts steer me past a more recent vintage and towards Freedom Run's 2008 Estate Riesling, which is, of course, still in the barrel, and will be for a little while yet. We taste. It's young, but also beyond its years. There's such a nice balance to it already…I figure I'm down for at least a case.”
About our 2007 Estate Cabernet Franc…
“It isn't until we move back into barrel territory, and Guba breaks into the 2007 Estate Cabernet Franc, that I sense we've hit the jackpot. This stuff is damn near elegant. Spicy, with a nice body on it, but right where a Cab Franc should be - warming in winter, but somehow, also refreshing in summer.”
Overall we couldn’t be happier with David’s visit. We know that the more people who try our wines, especially our estate selections, the more word will spread that Niagara wines are something special and worth seeking out.
