Shaw 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The future of Finger Lakes Sauvingnon Blanc is bright, at least in the hands of Steve Shaw. Fragrant with sweet, ripe gooseberries, apples and a touch of herbs and grass, this is a delicious choice for any occasion. Full bodied and complex, its palate is lush with quince and green plums, highlighted by a refreshing minerality and a lime zest astringency.

Shaw 2007 Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
A beautiful late release from winemaker Steve Shaw, this multifaceted wine is redolent with white flowers and hints of smoke, stones and slate. Dry, but softened by a touch of white peach and limeade sweetness, the palate is refreshing and floral, but balanced by bracing acidity and a backdrop of petrol, smoke and minerality.

Shaw 2007 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $18
Benefits of bottle aging show well in this late release by Shaw. Clean and minerally with a shower of freshly squeezed lemon and honeysuckle on the nose, this almost dry Riesling is lush with honey and white peaches on the palate. There’s a sleek backbone of steel and slate that adds elegance to a lingering white tea finish.

Shaw 2007 Pinot Noir (Finger Lakes)
- $28
Alluring on the nose with a bouquet of brandy and sweet maraschino cherries, this Pinot bursts with ripe red cherry flavors accented by hints of violet, cocoa and spice. Bright acidity and a coating of soft, powdery tannins lead to a persistent sour cherry finish.

Shaw 2006 Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Spice and menthol notes accent the nose on this dark, black cherry-perfumed Cabernet Franc. With intensely concentrated fruit on the palate, it’s plush with a rich, full-bodied texture, but balanced by wonderfully soft tannins and a vibrant sour cherry acidity that carries through to a long finish.

Shaw 2005 Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
- $25
Bright cherry and vanilla aromas lead this plucky, ageable Cab Franc from the Finger Lakes. Flavors of pepper, cherry and spice on the palate are balanced by a good acidity and the wine ends on a spiced note. Pair with cheeses, poultry.

Shaw 2006 Merlot (Finger Lakes)
- $20
Bright with a purity of pomegranate and sour cherry flavors, Shaw’s late-release 2006 Merlot is beautifully spiced on the nose and palate with generous anise and cinnamon notes. Dry and lean with a brisk, bracing acidity, it’s a wine to accompany long meals of spiced duck or lighter meat dishes.

Shaw 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
While the nose on this medium-bodied Cab is eminently fruit forward with scents of lush black cherry jam and spice, the palate is remarkably fresh with herbs, bramble and bright sour cherry. Supple tannins and a tart midpalate lead to a long finish.
