Amalthea Cellars 2006 Reserve Cabernet Franc (New Jersey)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
There’s a nice complexity to the nose on this beguiling New Jersey Cab Franc—dark red fruit melded with bramble, dried herbs and minerally slate and stone notes. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated with red fruit and a hint of menthol but balanced acidity and minerality give it a lean, elegant profile.

Amalthea Cellars 2007 Reserve Chardonnay (Outer Coastal Plain)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Fresh apple and lemons are bathed with scents of rich cream and buttered toast on this dry, full-bodied Chard from New Jersey. There’s plenty of sweet apple fruit and a fresh, citrus acidity on the palate, but they’re hindered somewhat by sour, bitter wood notes that carry through to the finish.

Amalthea Cellars 2007 Europa IV Red (Outer Coastal Plain)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Scents of dark chocolate, cinnamon and blackberries waft from this New Jersey blend of Cab Franc and Merlot. Dry and medium bodied with a touch of sweet fruit, the red plum and cherry flavors aren’t deeply concentrated but combined with soft tannins and a brisk acidity, make for a clean, pleasant wine.

Amalthea Cellars 2007 Europa VII Red (Outer Coastal Plain)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Mocha and red fruits combine with green, stalky notes on the nose and palate of this dry, medium-bodied New Jersey Bordeaux blend. The midpalate boasts some coffee notes that are nice, but overripe fruit combined with green stemmy flavors make for a clumsy finish.

Amalthea Cellars 2007 Europa III Red (Outer Coastal Plain)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Milk chocolate and red plum notes on this dry, medium bodied Bordeaux-blend are nice, but overwhelmed by stalky green flavors and chalky, mouth coating tannins that tingle on the tongue.
— A.I.
