RayLen 2006 Eagle's Select Red Wine

Online Exclusive

Price $25

Aromas of toasted oak, green leaves, vanilla and spice waft from this medium-bodied North Carolina Bordeaux-style blend. The palate is ripe and plush with plenty of sweet dark cherry fruit, but there’s a tinge of green in the backdrop. Tobacco, smoke and supple tannins on the finish add an edge to this otherwise soft sipper. — A.I. (2/1/2011)

RayLen 2008 Category 5 Red Wine

Online Exclusive

Price $18

Bright red fruits achieve a decent amount of ripeness, but unfortunately, there’s not a lot of concentration. The spice-laced finish is long, aided by soft tannins and notes of leather, tobacco and earth. — A.I. (2/1/2011)

RayLen 2009 Riesling

Online Exclusive

Price $13

Smoke wafts over pressed apple and lemon notes on the nose and palate of this off-dry Riesling. Sugary sweetness on the midpalate infused with hints of soapy florals and brambly vines detract from an otherwise pleasant, balanced wine. — A.I. (10/1/2011)

RayLen 2007 Carolinius Red

Online Exclusive

Price $14

The dark, black fruit on the nose and palate of Ray Len’s Carolinus red blend is ripe, but a bit tired and dusty, competing for attention with all the dark, toasted oak. It’s a straightforward Carolina red with a hint of tomato leaf and not a lot of structure, but fine for everyday fare. — A.I. (2/1/2011)
