There’s a slightly smoky, fume character to this wine’s otherwise ripe aromas of stone fruit, melon and fig, giving an extra layer of complexity. And despite the ripe aromas, this wine is crisp and grassy on the palate, delivering a long finish with finely delineated flavors.

Very fresh and vibrant, filled with zesty pear, citrus and pineapple fruit. Just a pleasure to drink, balancing lush fruit with zippy acids. Hints of apples and butter linger in the background.

This may be atypically dark and powerful, but this wine provides a rich, satisfying drink that hopefully presages more good things to come from the 2005 vintage Pinots. Despite its inky color and plum and chocolate flavors, the texture is still very Pinot—silky and round but not flabby, with crispness and lift on the finish.

Marked by a touch of struck flint on the nose, this wine delivers Sherwood’s customary fresh nettle-like aromas and flavors. It’s grassy and pungent yet light and zesty in style, with enough citrus fruit to help the greens go down easily. Drink now.

A light, fresh rendering of Pinot Noir, with modest pomegranate and button-mushroom aromas and flavors. Drink now.

Best for those who like a strongly leafy side to their Sauvignons, as this wine features plenty of crushed tomato and nettle and only a modicum of tropical fruit in the background. Drink it over the next few months.

Fresh and zippy, this is one 2005 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that held onto the variety’s typical racy edge. If you’re one of those consumers who frown on the round, ripe flavors achieved by some in 2005, this is one to seek out. Brisk passion fruit, grapefruit and herb flavors finish crisp and clean.
