Red Wines

This vintage of Pinot has a deep, dark garnet color. Aromas and flavors of tart cherry and strawberry are most noticeable. Hints of flowers and spice are also present. The balance between fruit character and great Finger Lakes acidity makes this a perfect food friendly wine. Serve with grilled steak, seared tuna, salmon and tangy barbecued chicken.

This vintage of Pinot Noir is a blend of all three of the Pinot Noir Clones we grow here at McGregor Vineyard: Mariafeld clone, Clone 7, and the Gamay-Beaujolais clone. This is a very aromatic wine with aromas reminiscent of ripe red raspberries, cherries and strawberries with a hint of vanilla. These aromas follow through on the palate and the wine is rich and medium bodied. The oak character is elegantly integrated with the fruit character and the wine lingers nicely on the palate. Aged for 27 months in French Oak.

A dry oak aged blend of vinifera and hybrid grapes including Saperavi, Sereksiya Charni, Lèon Millot & Cabernet Franc. It’s soft and velvety in the mouth with excellent fruity character and a smooth finish. This everyday red wine pairs very well with spicy foods, BBQ ribs and red sauces.

This vintage is fruit driven yet earthy. It has aromas and flavors of raspberry, black cherry, plum along with hints of cedar and dust. The oak barrel influences are nuanced and the tannins are beautifully integrated in the wine lending to a very smooth and pleasant finish.

From the McGregor library of past vintages

This vintage of Black Russian Red has an enticing deep red-purple color backed up with aromas reminiscent of black currants, elderberry, ripe plum, and ripe red raspberries. This medium bodied wine combines all these aromas on the palate with tart cherries, mellow oak character and rich, silky tannins all leading to a nice, long and contemplative finish.

This is a bold and complex Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, & Merlot.  Aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet oak and a subtle earthiness. Ripe tannins offer a pleasing finish to this youthful yet elegant wine.

This vibrant, ruby red wine is very aromatic and flavorful. It has a rather understated complexity of aromas and flavors that come alive in the glass as the wine breathes and opens up. Red cherry, strawberry, black tea, forest floor, spice and vanilla. The wine finishes with lingering fruit flavors and velvety tannins. This wine is quite approachable right now, but can easily cellar for at least 3-5 years.
