title: Hermann J. Wiemer 1997 Cuvée Brut 2000  (Finger Lakes)
description: Overtly sweet aromas and flavors dominate this upstate New York offering. Wiemer’s wines have impressed us before, but this comes off as heavy-handed, with a dense, perfumey quality. It possesses decent length and texture, but the weighty sweetness makes it a better candidate for mimosas or for entertaining those who shy away from dryness.
variety: Champagne Blend
designation: Cuvée Brut 2000
