Vanilla, cherry, strawberry and spice on the nose is followed by slightly smokier, bigger flavors on the palate. The wine has a fruity character backed by pepper and spice. Clean and suited for myriad flavors, from seafood salad to grilled lamb.

Fragrant apple blossoms and honey perfume this deliciously fresh and fruity Sauvignon Blanc. The dry palate is full bodied with a shower of white peach flavors marked by a quirky lemongrass note and a bright lemon-lime acidity.

An overriding element of oak is the central focus; a maple syrup nose and lack of fruit presence fails to deliver the kind of depth a Cab drinker would expect, though some spice on the palate is pleasant.

Raspberry and sawdust vie for domination on the nose while a difficult-to-resist flavor of mixed-berry soup comes through on the crisp, mouthwatering palate. Medium rhubarb and earth finish. Charming.

Cinnamon and spiced berry—a seductive combination—lead this Cab from the Finger Lakes, but on the palate, cherry, pepper and spice flavors fall a bit flat. The wine wants more complexity and dimension, but offers approachable red berry flavors that will pair well with lamb or steak.

This wine has a subtlety bordering on weak, but its good, solid berry flavors save the day to some extent. Cherry, pepper and cinnamon are thin but balanced.

Smoky raspberry and gamy spice lead on the nose of the Merlot from New York, and on the palate, the smoky oak turns a touch bitter. Cranberry and cherry fruit mingles with spice and weighty tannins, meaning this wine will do well with rich meat stews and duck.

Fresh and fruity with dominating notes of green apple, young white peach, chamomile and sweet grass. Lime citrus appears in the mouth and on the finish, livening up the moderate weight and medium-length finish.

This Riesling starts with aromas of orange, peach and lemon, and on the palate, rich fruit and citric flavors unfold. Simply good, and pretty, this wine makes for a good, chilled solo dip on the patio.

Floral and delicate with a balanced mouthfeel, this PG from historic Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards offers a rounder mélange of flavors and a creamy finish. Good on its own and even better with food.
