Mocha and red fruits combine with green, stalky notes on the nose and palate of this dry, medium-bodied New Jersey Bordeaux blend. The midpalate boasts some coffee notes that are nice, but overripe fruit combined with green stemmy flavors make for a clumsy finish.

Scents of dark chocolate, cinnamon and blackberries waft from this New Jersey blend of Cab Franc and Merlot. Dry and medium bodied with a touch of sweet fruit, the red plum and cherry flavors aren’t deeply concentrated but combined with soft tannins and a brisk acidity, make for a clean, pleasant wine.

Milk chocolate and red plum notes on this dry, medium bodied Bordeaux-blend are nice, but overwhelmed by stalky green flavors and chalky, mouth coating tannins that tingle on the tongue.

Fresh apple and lemons are bathed with scents of rich cream and buttered toast on this dry, full-bodied Chard from New Jersey. There’s plenty of sweet apple fruit and a fresh, citrus acidity on the palate, but they’re hindered somewhat by sour, bitter wood notes that carry through to the finish.

There’s a nice complexity to the nose on this beguiling New Jersey Cab Franc—dark red fruit melded with bramble, dried herbs and minerally slate and stone notes. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated with red fruit and a hint of menthol but balanced acidity and minerality give it a lean, elegant profile.
