Billsboro 2007 Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
An impressive effort for cool-climate Cabernet Franc. Caramel, toffee and boysenberry scents grace the complex nose while focused blackberry takes over in the mouth. Crisp and medium-weight, it picks up a liquorice accent on the finish. Drink or hold a year or two for more complexity.

Billsboro 2010 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
Quite earthy in profile with hints of smoke, petroleum and fresh green herbs, there’s a distinct minerality in this off-dry Riesling that’s compelling. Brisk lime-juice acidity and a hint of citrus rind bitterness accentuates the dry finish.

Billsboro 2010 Pinot Gris (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Earthy tones of smoke and hazelnuts give way to bright white peach and grapefruit notes on the nose and palate of this fruitful Pinot Gris. Off dry in style, it’s a tad sugary on the midpalate, but finishes fairly dry with a refreshing shower of lemony acidity. Drink now.

Billsboro 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Finger Lakes)
- $18
Big spice and blackberry/cherry aromas start this wine out right, and on the palate, a rustic underlay of tobacco and pepper adds character. Good structure and acidity add a food-friendly edge. A wine that is easy to drink and well made.

Billsboro 2008 Dry Rosé Gamay Noir (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
The inherent fruitiness, low tannin level and easy charm of the Gamay grape of Beaujolais makes it a good choice for a rosé. This example has appealing cherry fruit set against a background of leather and vanilla. The finish offers up cut apple aromas and lingers just long enough to make it a good partner for tuna or swordfish steaks.
