Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt plies his trade mainly in California, but this effort from his native country is a winner, featuring a lush mix of nectarine, melon and tomato leaf that finishes long and harmoniously.

A bold, fruit-driven style of Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe flavors of passion fruit and nectarine. Shows plenty of weight and length, yet remains dry and easy to drink.

Starts off with aromas of grapefruit and tomato leaf, then touches of nectarine and honey on the palate add richness and depth. The result is a medium-bodied, round Sauvignon Blanc with a subtle, elegant finish.

This is a medium- to full-bodied Pinot with plenty of concentration and ripeness. You get ripe black cherries upfront and all the way through the long finish—the only thing this wine really needs is more complexity. Pretty good value.

Restrained, with a slightly herbal edge to the mineral notes of wet stones. This is medium in weight and rather creamy in texture, giving it a food-friendly vibe. Drink up.

Medium-bodied and supple, this wine from veteran winemaker Nick Goldschmidt delivers bright, cheerful cherry fruit, framed in plenty of toasty, cedary oak. It’s a ready-to-drink Pinot that should prove to have popular appeal, especially at the recommended price.
