Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Spicy and herbal, like a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with lots of barrel scents and flavors following. There are baking spices aplenty, coconut, sandalwood, cinnamon and more. Hard to resist.

Van Duzer Pinot Noir - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Chewy, tannic, with a streak of burnt rubber and plastic. The fruit is thin and the wine smoky.

Thin, sour and hard, this has simple cranberry fruit, with stem and earth flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fresh and refreshing, Van Duzer hits it right with tart, spicy fruit and a nice kick to the finish. A racy, lean style, built for food, but quite appealing all by itself.

Van Duzer Chardonnay - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Snappy flavors of fresh, cinnamon-spiced Asian pears are the focus of the firm, tart fruit. Flavors remain light through the mid-palate, then tail off into a simple, lightly lemony finish.

Van Duzer Pinot Gris - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The opening aromas carry an impression of some overripe fruit, like papaya past its prime. Oddly, the flavors are sour and plain, with a bitter finish.

Van Duzer Pinot Gris - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A pleasant, lightly grapefruity wine, with a lot of pucker to it. Deserves kudos for keeping the alcohol down where it should be (13%), and for making a food-friendly style with a clean, crisp finish.

Van Duzer Pinot Gris - 2002

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Not much is going on here. It’s very pale, like a dark rosé, and barely tastes of tart fruits; more like under-ripe cherries. It finishes very citric and acidic.

Van Duzer Pinot Noir - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Plum, citrus and some brambly red fruits are mixed together, creating a forward, fruity wine with plenty of toasty oak up front.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Cherry fruit and plenty of chocolaty, mocha barrel flavors. Mainstream, clean and simple. The twin parts—fruit and oak—are like two halves of a sandwich, separate, equal, but unintegrated.
