Shaw 2008 Riesling
- $17
This late-release Riesling is texturally fascinating with a rich, minerally palate bursting with white grapefruit and waxy, floral flavors. Slightly off-dry in style, it’s deliciously creamy and slick with a lingering finish that’s kissed with caramelized sugar.

Shaw 2007 Riesling
- $16
A beautiful late release from winemaker Steve Shaw, this multifaceted wine is redolent with white flowers and hints of smoke, stones and slate. Dry, but softened by a touch of white peach and limeade sweetness, the palate is refreshing and floral, but balanced by bracing acidity and a backdrop of petrol, smoke and minerality.

Shaw 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The future of Finger Lakes Sauvingnon Blanc is bright, at least in the hands of Steve Shaw. Fragrant with sweet, ripe gooseberries, apples and a touch of herbs and grass, this is a delicious choice for any occasion. Full bodied and complex, its palate is lush with quince and green plums, highlighted by a refreshing minerality and a lime zest astringency.

Shaw 2011 Sauvignon Blanc
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Striking minerality and hints of freshly cut grass add briskness to this floral, peach-inflected wine. Dry in style, with a voluptuously supple palate, it’s remarkably languorous on the finish.

Shaw 2007 Reserve Cabernet Franc
- $35
Three years of barrel ageing lends an intoxicating flair to this lushly textured Cabernet Franc. Rich vanilla and spice notes are unabashedly oaky, but the palate is concentrated with black cherry and cassis flavors, elegantly framed with brisk acidity and soft, velvety tannins.

Shaw 2007 Dry Riesling
- $18
Benefits of bottle aging show well in this late release by Shaw. Clean and minerally with a shower of freshly squeezed lemon and honeysuckle on the nose, this almost dry Riesling is lush with honey and white peaches on the palate. There’s a sleek backbone of steel and slate that adds elegance to a lingering white tea finish.

Shaw 2008 Reserve Pinot Noir
- $30
Hints of smoke and vanilla add complexity to notes of dried cherry and autumn leaves in this earthy, umami-rich Pinot Noir. Aged three years in barrel, this late-release wine is silken and rich on the palate with just a flurry of tannins on the finish.

Shaw 2006 Cabernet Franc
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Spice and menthol notes accent the nose on this dark, black cherry-perfumed Cabernet Franc. With intensely concentrated fruit on the palate, it’s plush with a rich, full-bodied texture, but balanced by wonderfully soft tannins and a vibrant sour cherry acidity that carries through to a long finish.
