This rich Cabernet starts with aromas of vanilla, nutty oak and mocha, unfolding into flavors of ripe red berries, cedar, pepper and toast. Good depth of flavor and a poised fruit and acid balance give the wine class. Pair with rich meat dishes or ripe cheeses.

Savory on the nose with modest apple and pear aromas accented by a curious smoked ham note, this smoky off-dry Riesling with a touch of honeycrisp apple sweetness has a briney, umami-laden complexity that would make it an interesting companion to prosciutto wrapped around morsels of melons and fig.

A sinewy wine that begins with ginger, lemon curd and white peach that give way to a slightly watery palate with a silky texture and good acidity to balance the substantial residual sugar. The short-to-medium finish ends on a candied ginger note. Drink now.

Cigarbox, pepper and red cherry on the nose leads into vanilla, smoke and cedar on the palate. Rich but not heavy, it will pair well with cured meats, cheeses, heartier dishes.

A sensual aroma of musky spice and strawberry starts this wine out well. On the palate, the wine offers an interesting mix of delicate, dancing flavors and rounder, bigger spice. Unique, with some heft.

Smoky, elegant and soft aromas of leather, pepper and berry lead into flavors of cherry and cigarbox spice on the palate of this approachable Cabernet. The wine is not terribly complex, but good structure and acidity give it cellaring potential, and paired with duck, lamb or beef dishes, it will make a very nice addition to the table.
