Hints of almond and lemon rind lend complexity to sweet honeydew and white peach flavors in this featherlight Riesling. Lacy sweetness coats the midpalate, offsetting streaks of tart lemon-lime and g…
This is half Cab Franc, the rest an equal mix of Malbec, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberry and black cherry fruits fill the mouth, with just a hint of barrel toast and coffee grounds. Ci…
Moss and wet earth aromas accent a dark, bramble berry core. The medium-bodied palate is supported by supple tannins and shows adequate concentration of cherry and blackberry tones, enlivened by a st…

A blend of 70% Nebbiolo 20%, Croatina and 10% Vespolina, this fragrant wine opens with aromas of underbrush, crushed rock, allspice, violet, mint and red berry. The understated palate offers dried ch…
There's a real bite of lime juice that brightens the ripe raspberry and persimmon flavors on this Pinot Noir. Pair with rich meats and cheeses for balance.
Sugary orange-jam and vanilla flavors are brightened by crisp acidity that gives this wine a clean finish. Lightly-oaked, it's easy to drink on its own, or with appetizers such as tempura, bacon-wrap…

A gentle but flashy reserve-style Cabernet for drinking now. It's rich in blackberry jam, currants and anise, with touches of smoky oak. The acid-tannin structure gives it the refinement of an upscal…
A fruity, structured wine, dense and dark-hued, its black currant fruits giving a sense of lighter acidity. It's just coming into balance, so it will likely age well over the medium term.
Smooth and supple, this mix of Syrah, Cab Franc, Merlot and Malbec offers generous mixed berry fruit in a fresh, enjoyable style. What's missing is a sense of focus, rather than just blending of four…
Made with Chardonnay vinified in wood and old-vine Pinot Noir, this strongly flavored rosé has a tannic edge as well as red fruits. It is full bodied and rich, ready to drink.
