Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Despite the somewhat silly name, this is a vibrant and well-made white at a reasonable price. White peach, fresh green grass and lime zest provide the lively profile for this brisk wine. A touch tart on the finish but inevitably crisp and refreshing. Drink up.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark and delicious, with aromas of cherry, blackberry and vanilla and an elegant array of cigarbox, cedar, spice and smoke on the palate. Lively and structured, with a lingering finish of tobacco and berries. Pair with barbecue and ripe, soft cheeses.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This alluring Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon blend starts with aromas of black cherry, violets and black currant, leading into waves of black fruit and spice. Structured but smooth, it has a classic, ageable quality. Good minerality gives it an upright character. Delicious now, but definitely can be held.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Donatus, Latin for Gift from God, is a blend of 77% Chenin Blanc and 23% Semillon. Soft tropical fruit, orange, melon rind and a hint of oak unfold on the nose, while the lively light-weight mouth offers more fresh topical fruit and pineapple acidity. Balanced and easy to drink.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Earthy spice and smoked meat on the nose are followed by flavors of red currants, pepper and spice on the palate. A spin of cedar and oak give the wine added muscle. An assertive everyday red for hearty dishes.

Dornier Cabernet Sauvignon - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Surprisingly, this blend of 65% Chenin Blanc and 35% Sémillon is quite rich and oaky with prominent aromas of butter, wood-grilled red apple and walnut skin. The mouth offers more creamy nutty flavors of buttered popcorn and peach pit, but a bit lacking in the fruit department.
