Heart & Hands Mo Chuisle 2020 Review
This wine is such a Finger lakes Pinot Noir, but there's a catch. This wine goes beyond the norm. Pinot Noir loves a cool climate, but New York winters go hard and can be a challenge for the variety to get where it needs for full depth. Owners Tom and Susan Higgins have cracked the code. This wine has the classic upstate minerality on the nose and palate. You can sense it right away. But along with it comes a deep mocha cherry vibe that will raise an eyebrow. The leanness of the palate is balanced by deep, soft chewy fruit that fattens up the wine and makes you thirsty for more. Cheese plates now, please.
