Atwater Meritage Finger Lakes

On the nose, this seems like another baked fruit pie, but as it touches the tongue it hits the tip with acid and rolls through the mouth with a balance that is unexpected. Fruity, but not sweet, with deliberate tannins and enough oak to make it drinkable now, but encourage a few years of cellaring with a couple extra bottles. I fear cellaring it too long would result in one of those bottles that would need to be drunk within five minutes or flatten out. VERY GOOD.
