Shalestone 2008 Merlot (Finger Lakes)
- $22
Sultry and rich with ripe black cherries and dark damson plums, this menthol-spiked Merlot is a stand-out with an intensity in fruit and body that’s unusual in the Finger Lakes. Brisk acidity and a dry, elegant palate keep things in balance through a soft, vanilla spice finish.

Shalestone 2008 Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Concentrated black cherry notes on the nose and palate are accented by dark, mossy, bramble notes and hints of green and menthol. There’s a faint tomato leaf note that lingers throughout, but a rich fruit profile combined with smooth tannins and bright acidity make this medium-bodied wine a pleasant, straightforward pick.

Shalestone 2007 Harmony Red (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Harmony is a good word to describe this spirited Bordeaux blend, with its perfumed black cherry nose accented with menthol and fresh-cut herbs. Fruit forward with ripe black fruits, dried herbs and a hint of olives on the palate, it’s a medium-bodied red wine that’s easily adaptable to an array of hearty meat and fowl dishes.

Rich and ripe on the nose with dark black fruit and olives, this is an easygoing blend of Syrah, Cab and Merlot. Medium-bodied in style, it’s soft on the palate with plush tannins and flavors of cooked plum compote accented by darker hints of olive and sage.
