Hackett Winery - (March 2017) While out in the area, Weathered Vineyards suggested I stop by this one, which is just down the street from them. I was able to try all their available wines.
Started off with the almost naked chardonnay, which had a yeast aroma, reminding me of Bloomer Creek in the Finger Lakes, with subtle oak undertones; enjoyable. The off-dry Vice Riesling started off with the sweet aroma of the grape ending in a smooth crisp finish. I also got to taste the dry Vice Riesling, since it was open, which started off not as sweet aroma-wise, but the finish was much better.
The handmade pinot noir had subtle hints of black cherry and a nice dry finish. The Hillcrest, a blend of cabernet franc and merlot, was a nice ending. Starting with a nice fruit-forward and ending with an earthiness undertone, it is well balanced.
