Hudson-Chatham Winery's Baco Noirs have had a great pat couple of months. Hudson-Chatham's two Baco Noirs - Baco Noir Reserve Casscles Vineyard and Baco Noir Old Vine Masson Place Vineyard Pulteney Farm - have gathered tremendous press and awards.
Recently, the New York Cork Report had this to say about their Baco Noir Old Vines:
"Shows ripe black cherry and plum aromas on the nose with a little cranberry and a healthy dose of vanilla and oak. Rich and fuller bodied there is an intensity to the black cherry flavors here with vanilla to round it out. Layers of chocolate and oak bring a little complexity before a sour cherry/cranberry note emerges on the medium-length finish. Fresh but balanced acidity provides most of the structure here keeping it from being too soft or flabby. Acidity isn't uncommon in red hybrids but it's not excessively high here like it can be."

And the All Over Albany had this to say about their Baco Noir Reserve:
"The Hudson-Chatham Winery's Baco Noir Reserve is a clear and bright garnet. To me it smells of tart red fruit, and offers the impression of strawberries and tart cherries. I also get a little bit of sweet barnyard hay. On the tongue it is less fruity, but it's filled with bright acidity and enough tannin to give it some structure. The finish leaves me with a lingering notion of cranberries. This wine would go well with something that was rich and did not have a lot of competing flavors, like a simple roast chicken, or bacon wrapped pork loin. "
