chateau niagara cayuga (NYS)

This winery is just about a year old, and there were only 5 wines to taste. Normally I would not even have tasted the cayuga, since it is usually just a sweet grapey taste. But, since there were only 5 wines on the list, I decided to taste them all. What a pleasant surprise! Not grapey at all! I blind tasted this with some friends and they all agreed it was a very good wine. One guess was a voignet, and one did have a sense of the grapiness, which I did not detect. We had this wine with some salmon with a spicy topping on it and everyone agreed it went very well! This winery is supposed to come out with a meritage very soon, and  I am looking forward to going back and trying that, and purchasing some more of this Cayuga!
