Frogpond Farm Organics-
All organic farm, done with bullfrog energy and owned by two germans. The first and only entirely organic estate winery in Niagara. The tasting room is in a small house, and the winery is called frogpond because the way they gauge their environmental success is by the population of frogs in their property’s pond. It’s a good thing they don’t gauge their wines similarly otherwise there would be a pile of dead frogs somewhere. Most of the wines here were pretty unbalanced, lacked harmony, too much ying, not enough yang, you get the idea. I don't mean to knock them, because I really admire their beliefs and the execution thereof. Just not the wines and the execution thereof.
Cab Franc- Musty, but with some nice characteristics. Tar, peppers.
Chambourcin- Actually my favorite of the winery and one I hadn’t tried before or ever heard of. A bit sweet, nice pepperiness, and rounds out with berries and dark fruit. Relatively decent, but nothing I would pay for.
Cab Merlot-Lots of leathery, green pepper tones, some spices, really full bodied, but not so tasty.
Rose-A really confused tasting rose. Not very tasteful, in my opinion.
