Although brambly and green with hints of tomato leaf, this red cherry Cab Franc has a spicy, fruity profile with soft tannins and a bright acidity. Medium-bodied with a cherry cough drop finish.

A deep golden color and classic Chardonnay fruit and spice aromas, albeit with a touch of sweetness, begin this wine. On the palate, the fruit is fresh and good but lacks the layering and grounding that oak should offer. Overall it’s a good everyday wine that just needs a touch of class to round out the rough edges; food may be the key.

Pepper, dried herbs and fresh dill—a sign of greenness, give this red from New York an angular feel. On the palate, slightly tart flavors of cherry and cranberry are balanced by a touch of spice. Overall, a lean and mean Cab Franc, but not without its merits.

Restrained both aromatically and on the palate, this Riesling offers modest hints of green apple and pear combined with a slightly herbal note. There’s not a lot of complexity or concentration, but it’s a brisk, refreshing wine.

This off-dry has the hallmark crispness and minerality of a Finger Lakes Riesling, offering lemon and spices on the nose and a citric, somewhat lean character on the palate, even though it has a touch of floral sweetness to temper. Refreshing but a touch one-dimensional, the wine is still a friendly everyday choice for salads, seafood and ethnic cuisine.

The nose on this Pinot Gris—full of nutty spice and minerals—has instant appeal. On the palate, it offers a combination of subtle spice and fresh fruit, a delicate balance. The wine has curve but is overall clean and spicy. Poised but approachable.

This wine starts slowly, but a little bit of air really loosens it up, yielding aromas of vegetable oil, apples, and spring flowers. In the mouth, it’s light in body yet crisply flavored, with Granny Smiths dominating. Enough floral elements persist on the palate to provide moderate complexity.

This off-dry Riesling offers plenty of concentrated apple juice flavors accented by a dash of lemon and savory apple pie spice. There’s a hint of petrol throughout that adds a layer of depth, but overall, it’s simple and easy drinking.
