Wine Spectator Harvest Report

Wine Spectator magazine has released their Harvest Report for The Finger Lakes:

Region: Finger Lakes (B+)
The Finger Lakes 2005 growing season was hot and dry-up until October.
"It was the sunniest, warmest summer since 1991," said Peter Bell, winemaker for Fox Run on Seneca Lake. "Because it was so hot we have lower acids than normal," said Standing Stone owner Marti Macinski. The lack of rain caused some concern, she added, but "Riesling and Chardonnay, the earliest grapes picked, have some nice fruit flavors and balance." The reds are rich and show more exotic fruit flavors than are typical for the region, Bell said, while the Pinot Noirs are especially dense and well-balanced.
