Tobacco and spice aromas lead into flavors of jammy fruit and vanilla. A touch smoky on the finish, with pretty aromatics typical of the grape. Pair with lamb or grilled meats.

Black cherry, mocha and pepper lead on this easy-drinking red from Chaddsford. On the palate, soft cherry fruit, cedar spice and chocolate give the wine a luscious edge. Pair with Mexican mole, spiced ribs or pasta.

While a bit funky on the nose, with prominent oak-derived vanilla notes, this wine delivers in the mouth, with a fullish body and strawberry, lemon and raspberry flavors that hang around just long enough. The exceptionally pink hue will dress up any dinner table. Drink now.

Fragrant, with lots of floral and herbaceous aromas - very typical of Cab Franc. Some juicy strawberry fruit rounds out the flavor profile. It finishes with decent acidity and mild tannins.

One of the better American-French hybrid blends on the market, this wine shows some apple aromas, melon and fig fruit, a slight almond character, and a long, spicy finish. A blend of Seyval, Vidal and Vignoles.

Light green-apple aromas give way to a wine that is distinctly oaky on the palate, showing lots of cinnamon and apple-pie spices. A very woody style, not showing a lot of fruit character.

A crisp, fruity blend of Seyval, Vidal, Vignoles and Riesling. Made in an off-dry style, with an emphasis on simple apple and peach flavors. Serve well chilled as an aperitif or with light lunch in the garden.

Plummy and earthy on the nose, on the palate it shows sour-cherry flavors and strong acidity. Tart, could use some more flesh to balance things out. All Chambourcin, a French-American hybrid.

This blend of hybrid grapes (40% Seyval Blanc, 39% Vidal Blanc, 21% Vignoles) yields scents of lime, tonic and green corn husks. Sweet corn flavors fight with sour lime elements on the finish.
