Swedish Hill 2009 Dry Riesling
- $16
Crisp and refreshing with notes of grated ginger, white flowers and cantaloupe. This dry Riesling balances peachy fruit flavors with a steely backbone of slate and lime, tart acidity and a pleasantly long finish. Lovely all around.

Swedish Hill 2011 Riesling
- $16
Gorgeously aromatic with scents of honeysuckle, yellow stone fruit and waxy lanolin, this balances serious fruit flavor with a layer of stony minerality and a dainty, almost lacy, layer of sugar that lingers on the palate.

Swedish Hill 2011 Dry Riesling
- $16
Pretty floral aromas accent notes of fennel and savory apple on this dry, crisp Riesling. Bright and bold on the palate, this has lemony acidity and an abundance of fresh apple flavor.

Swedish Hill 2007 Optiumus Red
- $23
Plum and cherry notes struggle to show themselves under a heavy layer of coconut and sawdust from new American oak. This wine is tightly wound and dense in the mouth, with refreshing acidity and a medium-to-long finish. A year or two in the cellar will allow for better integration.

Swedish Hill 2005 Optimus Red
- $25
Spicy red fruit and pepper lead on this Bordeaux blend from the Finger Lakes, and lively fruit flavors follow. Tannins, acid and oak are balanced and attractive, and the finish has length and structure. Overall, a wine with poise.

Swedish Hill 2007 Cabernet Franc
- $17
A nice marriage of the structured Cabernet Franc grape and the juicy, easy-to-drink Lemberger, this wine has a polished nose of cinnamon, vanilla, orange rind and black currant. Crisp and smooth in the mouth, with a tinge of espresso. Dusty, woody tannins dominate the raspberry-flavored finish. Pair with flavorful beef dishes. Drink now to 2012.

Swedish Hill 2010 Dry Riesling
- $16
Waxy citrus skins and fresh pineapple notes are dewy and fresh in this just slightly off-dry Riesling from Swedish Hill. While a bit lean in profile, brisk lemony acidity and a subtly fruited palate make it a refreshing accompaniment to even the most delicately flavored fare.

Swedish Hill 2003 Brut Sparkling
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Enticingly nutty on the nose, with hints of smoke, yeast and apricot kernel, this 2003 vintage bottling from Swedish Hill shows promising signs of development. While fairly aggressive on the attack, it’s clean and lemony on the palate, with a softly saline, sea breeze note on the finish.
