Rooster Hill 2007 Estate Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- $17
This savory Cab Franc starts with aromas of smoked sausage, red currants and clove, followed by flavors of plum, black cherry and leather. Good tannic structure, meaty complexity and a lingering finish give it further character. Ageable and complex, it will pair well with game and lamb.

Rooster Hill 2009 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
Exotic pineapple, lime and tangerine scents combine with notes of slate and wet stone on this lovely Riesling. It’s quite dry, but feels lush on the palate with a sweet grapefruit softness. Finishes long and minerally.

Rooster Hill 2008 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
Overall, this elegant wine is dry with just a touch of stonefruit sweetness. Lemon yellow in color, there’s brightness throughout with ripe apricots, honey and yellow freesia on the nose. A polished minerality and orange pith bitterness help keep things in balance.

Rooster Hill 2008 Chardonnay (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Sweeter, more developed aromas of caramel, candied red apple, Boston baked beans and honeydew develop on the nose, while the mouth shows more typical Chard notes of baked apple and hazelnut butter. A touch round and flabby, but ends with a long, delicious, vanilla-kissed finish.

Rooster Hill 2007 Reserve Lemberger (Finger Lakes)
- $35
The pretty nose of vanilla, cherry juice and spice leads to a crisp palate of cranberry and orange peel. There’s good concentration and a nice mouthfeel but a persistent note of sawdust is a bit distracting. Try with grilled meat. Drink now to 2011.

Rooster Hill 2006 Chardonnay (Finger Lakes)
- $14
Fresh toast, wooded spice on the nose is friendly and appealing. On the palate, it works too, with its playful balance of layered spice oak and fresh acidity. The wine will appeal to fans of both oaked and unoaked Chardonnay, and will make a nice addition to the table.

Rooster Hill 2009 Estate Gewürztraminer (Finger Lakes)
- $17
Savory in style with an earthy, nut-skin aroma that wafts amidst sweet apple and tangerine notes, this off-dry wine doesn’t boast a lot of typical Gewürztraminer characteristics, but it’s a pleasant, easygoing treat for everyday.
