Pretty aromas of wildflowers, vanilla, citrus and smoky butter. Very fruity and extracted; tastes sweet, although it’s actually dry. Smooth and tasty; lots to like here.

Stylish wine, with currant, plum, and smoke aromas; rich and fine. A bit light in body and fruit, but has considerable charm nonetheless. Drink now.

Here’s a soft, juicy wine with plenty of flavor and depth. Starts out with plummy, spicy aromas and a hint of coffee and pepper, and quickly turns ripely sweet and spicy on the palate. Bone dry, with velvety tannins. Drink now.

This ripely fruity wine has a lot of charm, from the fruity, peppery aromas with their dash of hung meat, to the intense, extracted berry flavors. It’s very soft and velvety. Purists may object to sugar that’s a bit high, but it’s really a nice mouthful.

This big, mouth-filling Pinot starts off with juicy aromas of freshly crushed black-rasberries, toamto and earth, and blasts off in the mouth with spicy berry and cola flavors. The tannins are silky and light. Crisp acidity keeps it lively.
