Winery - Osprey's Dominion
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lavishly oaked, with layers of vanilla and cream wrapped around a core of red berry fruit. Creamy and supple on the midpalate, then turns tangy and lemony on the finish.

Kudos to winemaker Adam Suprenant, a New York native, who has done a lot with reds here, even the difficult Cabernet Franc. This version has developed aromas of mushroom, balsam, and chocolate shading plenty of dark berry. Cherry-berry flavors are edged with mushroom, while the smooth tannins meld nicely with moderate acidity. This wine should be enjoyed now and over the next two years.

This Merlot-Cab Sauvignon smells and tastes like tomato juice, with balsam and tobacco accents. Smooth tannins offer a creamy feel, but high acid makes it tart.

Herbal flavors dominate the cherry fruit in this light- to medium bodied wine. The tannins are chalky but not green, while the aromas of barnyard, cola, vanilla and red berry suggest this wine should be drunk now.

Brick red, with tight, grippy tannins, this medium-bodied wine has mild red-berry and cassis aromas touched with brown leaf. Darker blueberry shows in the mouth, backed by mineral and oak. Hard tannins take over on the finish.

More oak is evident in this wine than Osprey Dominion’s Reserve, the vanilla shading bright cherry fruit aromas and giving a pie-crust element to the red-berry flavors. Soft and creamy, with tobacco notes that carry through the finish.

This wine starts with a lively nose of grapefruit, citrus and fruit, followed by a soft, rounder spice and melon fruit character on the palate. A lush style of Sauvignon Blanc that’s still fresh.

An enticing Meritage, with aromas of violet, anise, crushed herbs and red berry fruit followed by deep, savory spice flavors of cinnamon, pepper and cedar. Balanced but full of character, this wine will pair well with meats and poultry dishes.

The wine offers an intriguing nose of wildflowers, toasty oak and spice, followed by red berry, leather and red berry on the palate. Balanced and well structured with a good, long finish, the wine is suited to beef or lamb dishes.
