An impressive product from Colorado winery Canyon Wind. Deep and dark aromas of plums, grilled meat and chocolate are followed by an elegant blend of dark cherry, clove and coffee flavors. Balanced nicely, this wine has some heft but is smooth and easy to drink.

Kudos to Colorado winemaker Canyon Wind Cellars for making wine in an area not known for grapes, and on first pass, this seems a rather friendly, accessible Chardonnay. A floral nose of pear and apricot is followed by spice and lemon on the palate. There is also oak to weigh down the zip. But it's a bit wiry and lacks dimension.

An appealing smoked sausage and clove spice nose on this wine leads to a flavorful, though slightly dry, array of berries, plum and smoke on the palate. Impressive structure and complexity but the wine should probably age 2–5 years for maximum enjoyment and to take off that tannic edge

Lovely floral scents mingle with fruit flavors of strawberry, peach and honey in this rose from Colorado producer Canyon Wind. It's a bit on the sweet side which overpowers some of the more delicate flavors, but a hearty dose of acidity cuts some of the candy. The wine would pair well with lobster or oysters.

Pleasant aromas and flavors of grass, grapefruit and flowers recommend this likeable wine from the Grand Valley appellation of Colorado. Paired with seafood or Asian cuisine, the wine is an interesting alternative for everyday sipping.

Initially a bit funky, this wine opened up to offer pretty cassis and fresh blackberry fruit couched in a bed of medium acid and soft tannins. Mushroom and plum tones on the finish hang around for just a bit. Drink up.

Give this wine some air to blow off reduced aromas and you’ll uncover scents of cotton candy and cherry cough drops. The smooth palate is all candied cherries and sweet jam flavors that could use a bit more structure for better balance. No improvement with age.
