* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Elegant, fruity and light on the palate with a mineral edge, this wine is another success from Wölffer. A perfect summer wine with a substantial finish, it offers tingle on the tongue alongside ripe fruit flavors. Unique and likeable.

Aromas of peach, rose petals and citrus greet the nose with this popular, fun rose from Wolffer. It's fruit-driven, dry and zingy and would pair deliciously with lobster or a mild cheese. Perhaps just a touch too much acidity overrides the delicate fruit flavors but overall this is an elegant and accessible rose.

Modest apple and citrus aromas and flavors are accented by hints of charred sweet corn and vanilla. Medium-bodied, with a lemony finish.

Has some yeasty, apple-y notes on the nose, but this is blander than some other vintages have been, offering modest apple and citrus flavor. Perhaps it just needs more time in the cellar.

The Wolffer Pinot Gris has an attractive, zesty character from the start, with its nose of melon, pear, citrus and spice followed by a fun, lively array of lemon, toast and pear. Pretty and an enjoyable drink on its own, or with delicate foods.

After the initial bouquet of charred oak and espresso blow off, pretty aromas of ripe black cherries, spice and smoke linger on this beautifully balanced, regal Merlot blend. There’s plenty of coffee and char on the palate as well, but layers of earth, mushroom and smoke flavors add complexity and depth.

Mushroom and tomato are coated with spicy oak, while he palate deals out carob, plum and tomato. A bit on the unripe side, the wine nevertheless has good dark tannins, although the finish is a bit tart.

Very young and crisp, this is an example of New World sparkling wine that should prove ageable, if purchasers are so inclined. Shows some yeasty complexity to go with clove and tart green-apple flavors.

A bit disappointing on the nose; pickle barrel and onion are supported by moderate spice. This is a dark, extracted wine with dusty tannins and a lean feel. Cherry/berry fruit flavors are shy as they compete with tomato, spice and onion before finishing metallic.

Nutty aromas reminiscent of cashews lead the way, followed up on the palate by more roasted nuts, white peaches and nectarines. Picks up some elegant citrus notes on the long finish. Based on a recent tasting of the 1997 Estate Selection (rated 90), this should improve over the next six months to a year.
