Wine Reviews

A grilled pineapple aroma is this Chardonnay’s lip-smacking “hello.” Other aromas include a bit of saline and pine needles. The wine’s bright acidity helps create a crisp mouthfeel as well as livening up flavors of nectarines and toasted filberts. Try this wine with creamy Tuscan chicken pasta dish

A silky, medium- to full-bodied red, with notes of ripe raspberry and black currant, bay leaf and marjoram, violet, sweet smoke and gravel opening nicely on the palate. Trim and well-meshed, with the generous flavor profile wrapped around sinewy tannins.

A round, rich version, with cherry, plum, leather and spice aromas and flavors. Tips toward the tannins in the end, where they exert themselves on the finish, yet the lasting impression is of sweet fruit and mineral, so be patient.

With a beautiful balance of richness, firm acidity and poise, this 100% estate-grown sparkling Chardonnay offers flavors of crisp apple, ginger, crème brûlée and pleasing stony minerality. An impressively long finish and vibrant acidity keep the palate refreshed for the next sip.

halky, racy and persistent, this sparkling wine delivers plenty of flavor in a leaner style. Palate-cleansing flavors of citrus blossoms, oyster shells and spiced apples sparkle through an ultralong finish
