The fruit is highly flavored, very juicy, and ripens mid-season.
Clusters are large and loose.
Leaf phylloxera have been an occasional problem. The vine is vigorous and very productive at Geneva. Some cluster thinning is usually required to avoid overcropping. Vines are healthy with good powdery mildew and Botrytis rot resistance and often maintain green leaves up until frost. Fruit maturity is late, with harvest Oct. 15-20 in Geneva.
