Katie and Ted Marks, along with winemaker Vincent Aliperti, farm a relatively warm stretch of eastern Seneca Lake shoreline and the “sold out” status of most of their wines testifies to the reputation they have been building within the state. Their 2005 Vidal Blanc – a wine to which, like most of their 2005s, they added acid in response to an unusually warm vintage and which finished with a bit of residual sugar – offers satisfying aromas and flavors of ripe melon, lime, honey, and sweet herbs. The palate is silky and refined and the finish exuberantly juicy and immensely satisfying. Abandon your prejudices about hybrids all ye who uncork a bottle of this extraordinary value! Unfortunately, the corresponding Riesling was on its finings when I visited and impossible to judge. Several young reds here – notably a 2004 Pinot Noir – showed promise, although the latter was palpably stressed from recent filtration when I tasted it.Tel. (607) 546-8463
