Winemakers Notes: Our second vintage of the new LaCresent grape developed by the University of Minnesota. This season offers rich apricot and muscat aromas and an appealing late harvest style.

Note: The wine tasted “off” and did not live up to our previous experiences. We will be revisiting the wine soon and rendering a final rating at that time.
