Medium gold core with a lighter rim. Yellow pear aromas followed by a touch of cream and wet slate. There is a hint of sweet on the palate with big pear, apple and peach flavors leading to the medium length finish.

Medium gold with a bright rim. The Riesling really lifts the aromas out of the glass giving a bright white flower nose with white licorice and sweet candied citrus peel. Dry and crisp entry onto the palate with apricot and yellow apple flavors. Nice acid and balance leading to a medium length finish. A fun little wine.
30% Chardonnay, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Riesling, 10% Pinot Grigio.

Medium ruby core with a touch of garnet in the rim. Very perfumy with flowers and fresh herbs over darker charcoal and black cherry. Soft and round in the mouth with a nice lingering dark fruit finish. A blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre.

Bright ruby core with a lighter orange rim. Dark plum and black cherry aromas backed by sweet tobacco and black truffles. The palate mirrors the nose well with a medium body and nice length of finish.

Dark ruby on the core with a lighter pink rim. Sweet cocoa powder surrounds bright red cherries, plum and strawberries on the nose with a darker leather and dried mint note leading to a touch of sweet tobacco and blueberries. Very smooth entry on the palate. Round, ripe fruit tannins on the mid-palate. Good overall balance with black cherry, leather and truffle flavors backed by dark toasted oak. The wood tannins build on the back palate leading to a lingering finish of cherry and spicy vanilla.
Ready to drink now or over the next 5 years. Good acid, so drink this bad boy with any tomato-based pasta dish. The tannins from the oak will probably carry it longer, but the fruit will likely fade.
