“Bold nutty, yeasty aromas mix with ripe pear and citrus notes and lead to full-bodied apple, cherry pie, ginger and cinnamon flavors. The finish is rich and distinctive.”

“Kumeu River’s entry-level Chardonnay boasts plenty of tropical fruit and citrus flavors, all rolled into a fresh, crisp wine. It’s a simple fruit cocktail, but with well-judged balance and zesty, food-friendly acids.”

“Honeyed apricot and orange peel on the nose and palate typify this elegant but playful botrytis wine. The wine’s lively acidity gives it a bounce on the tongue, adding dimension to the citrus components and lending it more to food pairing with desserts or a cheese plate.”

“Good lean aromas and flavors of crushed currant and berry, against a background of fresh oak. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a tasty finish of fruit and oak. Best after 2008.”

“Aromas of ginger, ripe pear and spice. Firm, tight and concentrated, with a rich beam of flavors that unfold gracefully on the palate, ending with a complex, invigorating aftertaste. Drink now through 2012.”

“Open-knit, with outstanding depth and balance to the medley of pear, mineral, toasty walnut and hazelnut flavors. Lemony acidity serves up a lively counterpoint to the oak tones, harmonizing on the finish.”
