Editors Note: So You Think That Finger Lakes Red Wines Don't Have Extraordinary Aging Potential? My friend Kevin and I have been collecting Red wine from Shaw Vineyards on Seneca Lake since they opened. We feel that Steve Shaw's wines are exceptional and are great examples of what can be done with Red wine, even in a cold climate like the Finger Lakes. So every now and then, Kevin and I dust off our bottles of Shaw and do a vertical tasting to see how they are holding up. Last weekend, we tasted Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon vintages from 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. We were just amazed at these wines, with the 2007 (17 year old Finger Lakes Red!) still showing beautiful dark cherry fruit, still maintaining a solid acid and tannin structure, and still showing a long bright finish. Hats off to Steve and Steve Jr. for these excellent wines!!! And we encourage everyone to keep an open mind about Finger Lakes Reds. There are many great Red wine producers in the Finger Lakes.
