Finger Lakes Vacation 2017; 9/4/2017-9/8/2017 (Finger Lakes, New York, USA) : Tasted at the winery. Soapy peaches, white tea, paypaya. Generous. Medium acid and a medium(+) finish. Fleshy in the mouth. Leaning to the sweet side at 3.1% RS but very enjoyable. Excellent QPR at ~USD$15/bottle. "Very good," 89/100.
