Alive and dainty with soft orange blossom notes paired with fresh red apple slices and a touch of nuttiness. The mouth is more of the same, with a distinct peach pit flavor unfolding on the medium-length finish.

This Viognier has a beautifully vibrant bouquet with aromas of white peach, pear, sweet pea and ginseng tea with honey. The palate is full and ripe with stone fruit flavors as well as a peach pit nuttiness lingering in the back and through to the finish. Nicely balanced and integrated; drink now to experience its true freshness.

A rather ripe and fruit-forward rosé with very prominent notes of banana and strawberry as well as accents of cherry skins, providing some variance and depth. The mouth is creamy and balanced with medium acid and a crisp, citrus-infused finish.

Hard peach and tangerine citrus provide the fruity core of this wine, with accents of sweet wood and popcorn adding depth. Medium weight with prominent acidity and an orange spice-driven finish, this is a nice choice for bone-in pork chops or stuffed chicken.

Opening aromas of black raspberry, cherry and carnation transition to darker fruit flavors of cassis and cigar spice on the palate. Approachable tannins and medium weight make this an easy-drinking selection that’s perfect for entertaining.

An excellent selection for the price, but this is not a wine for those who do not enjoy the flavors of malolactic fermentation and oak aging. While the nose offers aromas of pear, peach and citrus zest accented by notes of brioche, the palate offers up more pronounced oak contributions like a tub of buttered popcorn.

Six months in oak barrels have given the nose of this wine a lovely overlay of mocha and coffee on top of the cherry fruit. Raspberry flavors dominate the mouth while vanilla and strawberry linger on the finish. Lush acidity and only the barest remnant of tannin make this a good choice forwhite fish in a fruit-based sauce.

This wine starts off with sweet strawberry jam and maraschino cherry scents that turn raw and leafy on the palate. Lean and green on the finish.
