Aromas and flavors of red berry jam are simple and sweet, though a touch of spice adds character. The wine wants more tannin and pepper and overall, needs strength.

With disappointingly subtle aromas, this wine does not fit the typical Riesling mold. In the mouth, however, it is more concentrated than many of its peers and offers some pleasant pear and melon flavors. Crisp acidity and a hint of residual sugar makes for flexible food-pairing. Drink now.

The expressive nose on this full-bodied white evokes pear and apple, while flavors of butter, vanilla and apple unfold on the palate. Good for fans of rounder Chardonnays. Pair with crab, lobster or poultry dishes with cream sauces.

Fresh lemon and strawberry aromas with a vibrant, mouthpuckering combination of citrus and lively fruit give this rosé a warm weather advantage. It’s a dry, elegant sip perfect for al fresco salads and fruit desserts.

Bright with fresh apple and pear aromas, this off-dry style Riesling is a sunny, cheerful wine that melds the sweetness of tangerines with a high-toned acidity.

An earthy interpretation, with forest floor and rhubarb tones supported by bright acidity and finley buffed tannins. The finish is juicy and mouthwatering but a bit clipped. Try with pan-seared fish.

The inherent fruitiness, low tannin level and easy charm of the Gamay grape of Beaujolais makes it a good choice for a rosé. This example has appealing cherry fruit set against a background of leather and vanilla. The finish offers up cut apple aromas and lingers just long enough to make it a good partner for tuna or swordfish steaks.

Lean and austere in style, this dry Riesling offers steely notes, savory herbs and crisp pears combined with a shot of intense, lemon-lime acidity.

This wine has a lush nose—vanilla, spice—but its flavor is refreshing and crisp. Waves of spice and citrus are well balanced and elegant. A simple but food-friendly sip.

An impressive effort for cool-climate Cabernet Franc. Caramel, toffee and boysenberry scents grace the complex nose while focused blackberry takes over in the mouth. Crisp and medium-weight, it picks up a liquorice accent on the finish. Drink or hold a year or two for more complexity.
