Toasty, nutty, vanilla and spice aromas lead off here. A firm-textured wine with pear, apple, hazelnut, lemon, spice and herb flavors neatly interwoven, it’s got muscle and finesse. On the finish, it’s lush, showing elegance and lots of staying power.

Rich toast and hazelnut aromas lead the way here, with a bright-edged citrus core on the follow-up. The wine is richly textured, serving up tangerine, herb and mineral flavors on the finish.

The wine shows hints of honey and citrus up front, followed by toast and nut flavors. But it’s a little flat on the midpalate.

A generous wine with off-dry sweetness. The aromas are softly suggestive of peaches and cream, vanilla and smoke, with a twist of lime. The flavors are fruity, round and honeyed. It finishes crisp and clean, with some sweetness.

A malty, full bouquet with good complexity announces this well-constructed wine. Pleasant citrus and hay flavors, medium weight and a good steady bead add to the package. A good clean finish with a grapefruit tang wraps it up.

Very pale in color, with a slight coppery sheen and pronounced aromas of strawberry. It’s very rich in the mouth, just loaded with fruity, spicy personality. Not quite dry, with just a trace of sugar. There’s a nice creaminess to this crowd-pleasing sparkler.

A clean, fruity, tart bubbly with a lively mouthfeel and spicy fruit. A nice touch of licorice adds flavor interest, and the balance throughout is impeccable.

Right on target, the toasty, smoky nose here opens to full green-apple and mineral flavors on the palate. Hints of apricot and lime add interest and complexity, and the wine finishes smooth and long. Shows nice precision of flavor and texture.

Fresh and toasty, with a creamy texture and pretty melon, citrus, apple, pear, mineral and nut flavors. Moderate at the end.

Quite fragrant, with hints of peaches, tangerine and wildflowers. It’s creamy on the palate, serving up a lovely blend of toast, green apple, citrus, pear and grapefruit flavors. Full and rich on the finish. Really lovely.
