An opening act of spices, nutmeg and musk promises much. While offering up some appealing pear and apricot notes the palate doesn’t quite deliver as both concentration and persistence are lacking.

A winning combination of sweet and savory, Belhurst’s Traditions smells deliciously of syrupy boysenberry jam amidst the backdrop of a rustic barnyard. On the palate, juicy, ripe black fruit flavors gain complexity from a rich, earthy mushroom notes in the midpalate. Luscious and smooth with medium body and soft acidity.

The blush pink color is pretty, but both the nose and palate of this dry, full-bodied rosé are on the savory side with subtle flavors of cooked plum and cherry and a mouthfeel that’s a bit heavy and dull.

Intensely fragrant of gardenias, fresh pears and lanolin, this dry sparkling may be a bit too perfumed for some, but its fresh apple and pear flavors are pleasant. Dry, with a high-toned acidity, it finishes on a slightly bitter, stony note.

Sweet mocha chocolate notes make for a tasty accent on this black cherry Cab Franc, but a lack of concentration in the palate combined with rough tannins, hints of stalky green and a choppy acidity make this full bodied wine a bit clumsy.

There’s lots of zing in this lush, fresh wine with ripe pineapple, melon and peach aromas. Tart tangerine notes meld gorgeously with a bitter lime peel finish, giving added complexity to this intensely concentrated although not quite “dry” Riesling.

This aromatic semisweet Riesling is a bouquet of jasmine blossoms and luscious pears laced with lime and musk. Sweet honeycrisp apples and powdered sugar on the palate meld with a tang of acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish.

Fresh and vibrant, with bright apple and peach aromas that yield to a citrusy palate. Refreshing acidity and a slight spritz give a lift to the medium-length, apricot-infused finish. Try with sushi.

A nose of red berries, mineral and spice is followed by a slight burst of raspberry and pepper which dwindles fast. Overall, the wine offers good flavor but not much of the complexity and finesse of a successful Pinot.
