This zesty icewine, with its lemon, spice and mineral backbone, offers a light and playful take on the dessert wine coveted by so many worldwide. Delicate and not overly sweet, this shows some restraint and subtlety, lending it to food pairing and solo sipping.

Wagner 1998 Ice Wine Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $18
Orange, apricot and pineapple aromas ride over a deep bass note of earth and spice. The earth nearly takes over on the palate, providing a rich, complex counterpoint to the fruit-driven sweetness. Could use a touch more acidity to really make the flavors sing.

Wagner 2007 Reserve Pinot Noir (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
The Wagner Pinot Noir Reserve strikes a nice balance between elegance and extraction despite the high density level, with a good depth of strawberry and coffee flavors set against sophisticated, mouth-coating tannins. A red plum note chimes in on the finish. Drink now to 2 years.

Wagner 2006 Ice Vidal Blanc (Finger Lakes)
- $22
With its aromas of citrus and honey and its exuberant flavors of tropical fruit and toasted spice, this is both pretty and playful. Sweet but full of finesse, the wine has floral element that adds to its allure.

Wagner 1998 Ice Wine Vignoles (Finger Lakes)
- $18
Shows off the exotic musky-spicy side of this grape in its peppery, leathery aromas. Turns tropical in the mouth: papaya and mango are joined by zippy citrus-tinged acidity. Finishes long, with some of the peppery notes returning.

Wagner 2008 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $13
This is a gorgeously perfumed Riesling, chock-full of white flowers and ripe, juicy stonefruit, but not at all cloying. Dry on the palate, it exhibits elegant peach and apricot flavors that lead to a long, lingering finish marked by lime peel and a hint of chalk.

Wagner 2007 Meritage (Finger Lakes)
- $23
An impressive effort, with reticent black currant and cassis tones upfront followed by pomegranate in the mouth. There’s good depth of flavor here though the marked acidity and broad tannins require pairing with hearty fare. Better after 2010.

Wagner 2007 Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $13
The wine offers aromas of green apple and pears, with a touch of floral spice. On the palate, the character is lively and crisp, with a minerally backbone. The fresh fruit component is elegant and light. A food-friendly wine with a delicate touch.
