Atwater 2007 Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
There are a number of lovely Cab Francs coming from the Finger Lakes, but the smell of ripe red cherries accented with rich mocha, vanilla and smoke make Atwater’s especially enticing.

Atwater 2008 Gewürztraminer (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive

Atwater 2005 Reserve Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $18
Creamy, opulent aromas of honey, apricot and melon are followed by a balanced, harmonious blend of fruit and toast in this reserve Riesling from the Finger Lakes’ Atwater Estate Vineyards. There’s ample weight but a fun, bright raciness in the midpalate, making this a great wine for food pairing.

Atwater 2010 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
While certainly present, apple and stone fruit take a back seat to layers of flint and smoke on this uniquely savory, dry Riesling. Slightly viscous on the palate with a rich, minerally slick, there’s a hint of sea salt on the finish making this wine the perfect accompaniment to oysters on the half shell.

Hints of smoke and wet stone combine with sweet Granny Smith apple and stonefruit aromas on the nose of this inviting dry Riesling. Smoke seeps through on the palate as well, melding with brighter flavors like orange peel and underripe tangerine, making for a refreshing yet deeply compelling sip.

Atwater 2009 Riewürz White (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A blend of just over one-third Riesling, Atwater’s Riewürz boasts a steely precision that cuts through all of Gewürztraminer’s ebullient floral and juicy fruit characteristics. Semidry on the palate, with deliciously concentrated pomelo flavors, it finishes on a zesty, candied orange-peel note.

Atwater 2006 Vidal Blanc (Finger Lakes)
- $14
Bright apple and pear flavors mingle in this full-bodied Vidal Blanc. There’s a sweetness to the wine, but it’s tempered by a spicy strain that helps keep it aloft. Pretty, with unique character.

Whiffs of sweet white peach and melon agua fresca on this unabashedly fruity Pinot Gris are a delightful reminder of warm summer days. Semidry in style, it’s quite rich on the palate, with concentrated fruit flavors accented by a touch of tart lemon. Drink now.
