This bubbly starts with pretty aromas of flowers, spice and pear, followed by a bright profile of spice, fruit and cream. Balanced but offers a zingy finish with length. A fun and interesting wine with a lot of personality.

Unabashedly forward, with loads of concentrated sour-cherry flavor, this is a boldly structured Pinot Noir with accents of sweet spice, bramble and violet. It’s richly textured with firm, penetrating tannins on the finish.

Cherry, black currant and cinnamon lead on the nose of Brotherhood’s enticing Cabernet. On the palate, a touch of smoke mingles with red berries, spice and pepper. A clean, food-friendly style red with a lingering spicy finish.

Opens with straightforward aromas of strawberry and cotton candy, giving way to peach and apple on the (slightly watery) palate. The unobtrusive acidity and off-dry style of this wine make it a good partner for sweeter dishes, like calamari in a candied citrus sauce. Drink now.

Subtle, with low earthy tones set against a backdrop of black cherry and plum. The palate is crisp and intense, with a soft dusting of tannins. There are nice cherry and raspberry flavors on the finish but they fade a bit too quickly. Drink now.

Earthy on the nose and palate with savory whiffs of smoked hazelnuts, this dry, Hudson River sparkling wine is striking in its acidity and nut skin astringency. Fairly aggressive on the palate with a bold, lingering effervescence.

Ripe, brambly wood and plummy black-fruit flavors are concentrated in this dense, boldly structured Merlot, but shaded by tart green notes and staunch, grippy tannins.

Juicy on the palate with ample black cherry and Damson plum flavors, this is an easy-drinking Pinot Noir with just the faintest whisper of tannins. Hints of bramble and wet earth add dimension.
