Osmote Winery ‘This is Red’ Finger Lakes Ptillant Naturel 2021

A blend of Leon Millot, Marquette, and Cabernet franc. In looking at older generation hybrids like Leon Millot to understand what the Finger Lakes was as a wine region, and then reconceptualizing their use, we redefine what the region can become.

A cold bottle slowly releases bubbles just threatening to overflow before you pour that first glass ofopaque, dark purple wine rimmed with fuschia bubbles. Aromas of both blue and red fruits, likeplums alongside red berries. A hint of milk chocolate with a woodsy top note. Rich flavor with blueviolet notes before chalky tannins assert the finish.
