Opens with clean and inviting aromas of freshly sliced peaches, vanilla and bread dough, and turns rather tough in the mouth. The peach flavors are fine and dry.

Quite bright and lemony, with a rich, weighty body. Backed by pretty vanilla, toast and nut flavors, the wine serves up a fresh, clean finish that ends with an interesting mineral edge.

Here’s a nice, easy-drinking blush bubbly. It’s dry and crisp, although a little rough and sharp, with subtle strawberry and yeast flavors.

Kicks off with a blend of pretty peach and citrus flavors. Firm and focused, with zippy lemon, grapefruit and spice flavors, the wine finishes with a bright, toasty edge.

Oaky and slightly waxy in the nose, and distinctly citrusy in the mouth. A balanced, thoroughly pleasing wine, with a noticeable oak-driven bite on the medium-long finish. A pretty good effort from this winery known for affordable sparkling wine.

Crisp, clean and fruity, with apple and ctirus aromas compounded by bread dough, vanilla and smoke. Drinks bone dry and a bit austere, with sharp edges from acids. But it’s saved by the finish, which is richly fruity.

Medium weight, this 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay blend boasts dry apple-earth flavors with mild lime hints. Somewhat closed on the nose, it opens a bit on the palate, and throughout displays a fine, even bead. Finishes modestly with a hint of sweet fruit.

Not really dry, but with an edge of honeyed sweetness to the raspberries, limes, vanilla and doughy flavors. Drink this clean, brisk wine with fresh fruit or butter cookies.

Frankly sweet, with honeyed flavors of raspberries, vanilla and crunchy granola. Finishes clean and zesty in acidity. If this is your style, it’s a great buy.

Lots of Champagne-like richness in this dry blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay, Sangiovese and Zinfandel. Despite these big red varieties, it has subtle, elegant flavors of strawberries, limes, yeast and vanilla.
