Alpha Estate 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Florina)
- $28
Full-on aromas of freshly squeezed nectarine rev up this dry white, followed by wet stone and lime. Firm in the mouth, white fruit flavors are slow to emerge, hiding behind steely mineral and a hint of crushed peanut. Lime and citrus notes finally come round, turning towards nectarine on the long, acidic finish.

Alpha Estate 2007 Utopia Tannat (Florina)
- $21
Blackberry, cocoa, pepper and a touch of herbs on the nose give this hearty red some muscle. The flavors of cocoa powder, slate, spicebox and cherry are clean and easy-drinking. Food-friendly, the wine will benefit from decanting and could use some time in the cellar.
