* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Nice bright fruit aromas and a lively play of minerality and good fresh fruit make this a definite everyday choice for fans of cleaner whites. The wine is not terribly deep but it’s playful and flavorful.

This unoaked Chardonnay offers aromas and flavors of apples and almonds and a crisp, fresh structure. Elegant but easy drinking, it will pair well with seafood, poultry and lighter cheeses.

The gorgeous nose of strawberries and other summer fruits is just what one expects after seeing the striking peach color on this ice wine from the Finger Lakes. The palate is a bit disappointing, with some astringency and a bit of volatile acidity on the finish. Nonetheless, it has good flavor intensity and enough freshness to keep the very high level of residual sugar from becoming cloying.

Blueberry and cherry on the nose and palate of this medium-bodied red are cheerful and likeable, though overall the wine lacks dimension. An enticing wave of pepper and spice adds to the package. A Cabernet Franc with personality.

An intriguing nose of dried herbs, soft cherry, smoked meat and spice is the start of this food-friendly Cab. On the palate, more herbed meat and berry in a smooth, elegant package adds to the draw. Not overly complicated but good.

Aromatically stunning, with opulent, effusive aromas of lychee, honey, preserved peaches and spice cake. The palate has good acidity and a silky texture while the finish is long and dry. Try with a Vietnamese noodle dish. Drink now to 2011.

Fresh and fun with a nose of rhubarb and spice. On the palate, strawberry and spice is delicate with a touch of tartness. A great go-to summer sip that will pair nicely with salmon, grilled meats.

Full-bodied fruit aromas of raspberry and blackberry are followed by lush blueberry and spice in the mouth. The finish is a little weak and the wine a touch tannic, though.

A fragrant nose of fig, strawberry and apple entices, and on the palate, it’s smooth and subtle. There’s a touch too much fig among the waves of lush strawberry, but overall it’s an enjoyable dessert wine from a dependable producer.

Deeper and bolder than your average Finger Lakes rose, this wine is dry and fresh but a little tart on the palate. A good amount of acidity almost balances the fruit-forward, cherry character, but a slightly lighter touch would be more enjoyable. Some oak adds sweetness. A good summer wine.
