Living Roots Red Rizza 2021 Review
An unexpected wine made from the 100 percent Finger Lakes Riesling juice fermented on Cabernet Franc grape skins — it provides a completely new wine experience. It opens with notes of cinnamon, fresh herbs, and a touch of rhubarb. The palate lands savory with meaty notes of spices and Vienna sausage.
