There’s lots of zing in this lush, fresh wine with ripe pineapple, melon and peach aromas. Tart tangerine notes meld gorgeously with a bitter lime peel finish, giving added complexity to this intensely concentrated although not quite “dry” Riesling.

Fresh and vibrant, with bright apple and peach aromas that yield to a citrusy palate. Refreshing acidity and a slight spritz give a lift to the medium-length, apricot-infused finish. Try with sushi.

Notes of sweet quince and pommelo add a soft, blossomy character to this dry yet richly textured Riesling. Quite creamy on the palate, the finish is long, ending with a spray of crushed white pepper over tart grapefruit pith.

Notes of honeysuckle, white peach and fresh green herb are intensely aromatic. This off-dry effort balances zippy, lemon-lime acidity with layers of ripe, rich fruit. It’s lushly textured, yet it finishes delicately with a bristle of white-tea astringency.

A winning combination of sweet and savory, Belhurst’s Traditions smells deliciously of syrupy boysenberry jam amidst the backdrop of a rustic barnyard. On the palate, juicy, ripe black fruit flavors gain complexity from a rich, earthy mushroom notes in the midpalate. Luscious and smooth with medium body and soft acidity.

Almost tropical in style, with abundantly ripe mango and pineapple on the nose and palate, this semidry Riesling is irresistibly lush and fruity. Zippy tangerine acidity and a zesty orange peel note provides refreshing restraint on the finish.

Rich, ripe blackberry preserves, vanilla and toasted coconut flavors make this full bodied Cab Franc feel deliciously warm and generous in style. A sharp whiff of graphite and lean acidity on the midpalate add structure and balance on the finish.
