Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 94 Points
I love the interplay of restrained ripeness, cool minerality and delicate oak. Excellent textural complexity on the medium-bodied palate. Long, elegantly structured finish. From some of the oldest vines in the region, planted inn the 1970s. Drink or hold.

Forge Caywood Vineyard Seneca Lake Chardonnay 2023

Textural. Mineral. A focused, cool-climate Chardonnay shaped by old vines and the unique terroir of Seneca Lake.
Sourced from historic Caywood Vineyard plantings, this Chardonnay reflects Forge's commitment to minimal intervention and vineyard-first winemaking. The 2023 vintage shows lifted aromatics, layered orchard fruit, bright acidity, and subtle lees-driven complexity, offering a refined Finger Lakes expression with impressive depth.
