WINE DESCRIPTION
Bloomer Creek Vineyard's White Horse Red is crafted in a minimalist, old-world style, emphasizing authenticity and terroir. The extended open-vat fermentation and use of both destemmed and whole-cluster fruit lend the wine structure and complexity, while the two-year maturation in oak adds subtle depth without overpowering the natural expression of the grapes. The decision to bottle the wine unfined and unfiltered preserves its purity and raw character, resulting in a wine that is vibrant, textured, and reflective of its Finger Lakes origins. White Horse Red showcases a thoughtful, hands-off approach, allowing the nuances of Cabernet Franc and Merlot to shine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, you can expect vibrant notes of ripe red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness.These aromas are further enhanced by a touch of floral undertones, adding an elegant and inviting element to the wine.
The palate of Bloomer Creek Vineyard White Horse Red is equally impressive. It boasts a medium body with smooth tannins that provide a velvety texture. The flavors are rich and well-integrated, with a beautiful interplay between the fruitiness and the savory elements. You'll discover layers of red fruit, including juicy strawberries and plump blackberries, complemented by a touch of black pepper and a hint of forest floor.
