Anthony Nappa 2011 Anomaly Rosé

Price $19

Winemaker Anthony Nappa describes Anomaly as a Pinot Noir vinified like a white wine. Bone dry, with understated black-cherry flavor, it’s bracing with acidity and an intensely chalky, minerally palate. It’s refreshingly quaffable, yet lingers long, sip after sip. — A.I. (9/1/2012)

points

Anthony Nappa 2010 Spezia Gewürztraminer (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $18

Wisps of smoke and savory garam masala add dimension to the plush pink-grapefruit and mango flavors on this unusually spiced Gewürztraminer. The palate is dry and brisk with grapefruit acidity, yet it’s lusciously textured. Deep, gravelly minerality and an exotic tea note linger on the finish. — A.I. (9/1/2012)

points

Anthony Nappa 2010 Luminous Riesling

Price $18

Winemaker Anthony Nappa sources grapes from Finger Lakes notable Sheldrake Point to make this beautifully textured off-dry Riesling. It’s fragrant and fresh, with hints of waxy lemon skins, tangerines and white blossoms, and the palate is rich, with lush stone-fruit and a deliciously astringent tea-leaf finish. — A.I. (9/1/2012)

points

Anthony Nappa 2010 Bordo Cabernet Franc (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $20

There’s a savage appeal (what the French call sauvage) to this unabashedly rustic Cabernet Franc that was fermented entirely using wild yeasts. Initial notes of tomato leaf and green stem blow off to reveal aripe red fruit with a gorgeously floral character. Tart acidity and a concentrated red-cherry flavor are accented with graphite and black tea notes. — A.I. (9/1/2012)
