Initial sulfur notes subside into cedar and caramel topped off with raspberry. On the palate, frutti di boschi and cherry flavors are shrouded in velvety tannins while crisp raspberry notes permeate the medium finish. Drink now to 2011.

This wine starts out toasty, with spice, nuts and citrus in the nose and nutty spice on the palate. Vanilla and lemon add to the mix. A bit heavy-handed, but fans of oak will enjoy. Pair with fish, pasta and poultry.

A medium-full wine with an oily roundness broken by spice and citrusy acids. Flavors of lemon and citrus pith are tart and dry, but lychee, mineral and petrol round them out, matching the nose. Finishes with a tart orange aftertaste.

Medium body and good acidity set the tone, while flavors of tropical fruits keep this wine grounded, even if they don’t vault it to the next level. A musky nose has plenty of citrusy fruit with a hint of sawdust.

A nose of clean citrus and spice leads on this simple but likeable Chardonnay. On the palate, it offers more of the fresh flavors and the finish is crisp. A nice wine with seafood and salad, and a good choice for fans of lively whites.

A dry, Alsatian-style Riesling with aromas of petrol, meat and a hint of fruit. Despite its dryness the wine comes across as oily, with spicy, minerally flavors, including petrol. Not for fruit seekers, but should impress those looking for mineral-laden wines.

Rich and round with a seductive nose of honeyed apples and petrol, there’s a surprising breadth to this lovely off-dry Riesling from Heron Hill. On the palate, sunny sweet peaches are counterbalanced by a stony, minerally elegance and refreshing lime juice acidity. The finish is long and ends with a pleasant jasmine tea astringency.

Introduced by exotic notes of lychee and cinnamon, its white cherry and nectarine notes are supported by well-defined acidity on the palate that carries through to the finish. Drink with white fish in a delicate sauce.

Lemon and mineral tones dominate and show more intensity and definition on the nose than the palate. Turns a bit tart on the finish. This is a wine that screams for raw oysters.
