* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A fragrant, floral nose with a refreshing kick, followed by balanced elements of crisp fruit and spicy acid. Approachable but pretty, this wine will pair well with richer seafood dishes and cheeses.

Shows ample evidence of botrytis on the apricot-scented nose, with less-dominant aromas of ultraripe pears and peaches blending in. It’s very juicy and fruity, with some lime-like acidity that keeps it fresh. Best with fresh fruits, or try with a foie gras appetizer.

Peaches and pears, lemons and grapefruits come together in this harmonious late harvest wine that shows little evidence of botrytis. The high acidity gives it balance and makes it a great foil for fruit-garnished foie gras.

Vidal has a peculiar bouquet that I have a hard time describing. This one boasts muskmelon, litchi and kumquat aromas, backed by a honeyed sweetness and grapefruit-like acids. Intense—verging on overblown—this is a fine example of what this French-American hybrid is capable of producing.

A bit closed at first, then swirling, characteristic Riesling aromas of pears, golden delicious apples and superripe peaches appear. Thick and intense, it’s almost overwhelming in its honeyed richness. Sweet enough to pair with many desserts, but try it with blue-veined cheeses for a special treat.

The seductive nose on this wine reaches right out of the glass and pulls you in. The unctuous palate is pure self-indulgence, with intense notes of peach and mandarin orange. A medium-length finish has enough acidity to carry the high level of residual sugar.

An earthy, spicy nose gives this Riesling a masculine edge. On the palate, subtle flavors of pepper, spice and flowers dominate. A touch bitter but overall, an elegant sip. Imported by Henry Of Pelham Winery.

This off-dry Riesling has a nose of flowers and warming spices, followed by slightly sweet and spicy fruit (apples, pears, vanilla) flavors. The wine is simple but appealing.

It is impossible to resist the appeal of the bright watermelon color of this wine. The straightforward nose shows typical Cabernet Franc aromas of strawberry and tobacco leaf while the palate is redolent of ripe honeydew melon. Fresh acidity results in a light impression in the mouth. An impressive effort in a challenging category.

A soft and elegant nose of apple and citrus, followed by a dry and spicy palate, recommend this reserve wine from Pelham. The wine wants a touch more complexity but aging may allow for more layers to develop.
