Dainty, dusty pink in color, this Sangiovese rosé is subtle on the nose with only faint whiffs of plum compote and sugar cookie crumbs. Dry and full bodied on the palate, it offers some decent red plum flavors with a sour cherry finish.

There’s plenty of ripeness in the red plum and cherry on the nose and palate of this everyday Finger Lakes Cab, but it’s a little dusty and tired overall, with hints of tomato sauce.

Sweet scents of powdered sugar and guava juice waft ebulliently from this full-bodied Pinot Gris. The palate is soft with luscious, ripe pommelo and white peach flavors but balanced by a dry finish with a refreshingly astringent note.

This wine starts with a subtle nose of tropical fruit and citrus, followed by simple but flavorful tropical fruit flavors. Balanced acids and a sweet array of fruit offer a dependable everyday white.

Tar, tobacco and smoke can’t mask the green tomato leaf characteristics on this ruby red Sangiovese. There are some interesting spice notes, but not a lot of ripeness or concentration in the fruit.

Beautifully aromatic with dainty white peach, apricot and grapefruit notes, Ventosa’s Tocai Friulano is a luscious, fruity white perfect for casual spring entertaining. On the palate, ripe honeydew flavors are balanced by hints of freshly cut herbs and grass and a pleasant minerality.

The high percentage of Cabernet Franc makes itself known in this wine with tobacco leaf and tomato skin aromas on the nose. The palate is dense, with black cherry and plum flavors. The gripping tannins turn a bit astringent on the finish. Try with steak or hamburgers.

Layers of round, appealing Chardonnay aromas lead into this nicely balanced offering from New York. Earthy spice and good acidity give the wine both complexity and elegance, and the finish is lengthy. A good wine for solo sips or pairing with poultry and fish.

There are some interesting notes of earth and bramble in this everything- but-the-kitchen-sink blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc, Syrah and Sangiovese, but unfortunately they’re dominated by notes of dried herbs and stalky green.

This balanced and personality-laden wine starts with aromas of dried herbs and cherry and offers poised flavors of red berries. Tannins and an acid underlay give it class.
