Rich and sweetly peachy, with rather low acidity but pleasant, succulent sweetness. Shows some slightly bitter notes on the finish, or it would have scored higher. Imported by American Estates Wines, Inc.

While only light ruby in color, this wine doesn’t lack for flavor, showing plenty of ripe cherry fruit. It’s a bit simple, but it offers a pleasingly silky mouthful of Pinot Noir. Seems like a perfect match for salmon. Imported by Brennans.

Schuster’s top wine comes from a single estate vineyard planted 20 years ago—ancient by New Zealand standards. Aromas are floral, layered over earthier notes of mushroom and sous bois, then flavors add black cherries to the mix. Still firm enough to warrant cellaring. Drink 2006–2012. Imported by Brennans.

Restrained floral aromas (violets) mark the nose, then this wine adds lush black cherry flavors allied to wiry strength. Silky, then builds to a richer, briary finish. Nicely balanced. Imported by Brennans.

Not your typical New Zealand Chardonnay, this wine starts off with an odd, feral note, then shows lean and minerally on the palate, with subtle apple and peach fruit and a crisp finish. Aged in large oak puncheons. Imported by American Estates Wines, Inc.

A bit heavy for Riesling, with pretty pear and peach aromas but a broad, soft mouthfeel and a touch of bitterness on the finish. Best served well chilled to help pull it together.

Winemaker Dani Schuster is making his Riesling in a spätlese style, keeping some residual sugar for balance, with only 10.5% alcohol. Aromas and flavors of honey, bergamot and pineapple glide across the palate in a richly textured, creamy way, finishing with hints of dried spices. Delicious now, but should also age well for 5–10 years.

The wine really brings out the flavor in the cheese. It's a delight and reminds me of my experience with a good Riesling. The finish is smooth and there is no bite to the wine at all.
