Golden straw coloring which glows under the light.  Crisp apple and pear on the nose with a hint of minerality.  Strong tones of butter.  On the palate this wine is soft and well balanced.  There is a herbaceous quality to this wine, though not unsuitable.  Fared extremely well when paired with brownies.

4/5

Deep, consistent red coloring.  This wine clings to the glass and displays healthy legs.  Toasted oak and charcoal notes are prominent on the nose with undercurrents of plum and tart cherry.  Medium-bodied with gentle acidity.  Tannins are more apparent than fruit on the palate.

Pale straw coloring.  Strong tropical fruit on the nose, including pineapple, apricot and peach.  There is a hint of minerality to this wine, adding a bit of complexity to the mouthfeel.  The fruit notes are consistent in the mouth, making it a delicious standalone wine, with perfect balance and sweetness.

5/5

The abundance of fruit on the nose makes this a fascinating wine.  Peach, apricot, green apricot predominate.  This is a semi-sweet wine which sits a bit heavier on the tongue than similar whites.  Perfectly balanced and best served slightly chilled.

5/5

Toasted oak notes predominate on the nose, then give way to darker fruit tones, like plum.  It finishes with hints of charcoal.  Dry and full bodied, this wine would pair well with red meats and stronger, aged cheeses.

4.5/5
