* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Basic Beaujolais, light in body, with grapy, black cherry-ish aromas and flavors and a hint of fresh greens. Ends on a note of bitter chocolate.

Abarbanel sells itself short by calling this “White Shiraz,” which would imply it’s like White Zin—simple and sweet. But it’s not. In fact, it tastes bone dry, bright and fresh, with zippy lemon, herb, grapefruit and cherry notes. Quite mineral-like on the finish. The back label reveals it’s really Syrah rosé from France, but the front label implies it’s from Australia. Clearly the marketing folks are confused. Kosher.

Somewhat smoky upfront, with a blend of black cherry, blackberry, licorice and herb flavors. It’s fairly herbaceous as well, finishing with moderate length. Kosher

Dry and clean but with a good balance of fruit and tang, this Riesling is enjoyable but leans toward the watery side and has little finish. Flavors of apple and citrus are present, but the wine lacks complexity.

Fruity and fun, with plum, cherry, raspberry and herb flavors that go down easily. Soft, supple and light textured, the wine shows its terroir well, finishing with a bright edge. Kosher.

Kind of candy-like on the nose. On the palate, it serves up a bright, lemony edge, though it lacks the depth of finer Riesling. Clean, bright and dry on the finish. Kosher.

Kicks off with enticing aromas redolent of lychee and peach. On the palate if falters a bit, however, with a sugary quality that masks the fruit. The finish serves up pretty spice notes. Kosher.
