"Richly styled and round, with ripe melon, green plum and star fruit flavors. Mouthcoating, but not heavy, with citrus and floral notes cruising alongside a vein of minerality and bitter almond elements. Full-bodied and long, with a zesty finish."

“The nose is intense with grapefruit and guava, a surprising and delightful combination. On the palate, too, this wine's fruit characteristics are forward and lively. Grapefruit gummy candy dances across the tongue. On the finish, a savory hint of minerality and dry thyme comes into the picture.”

“This wine is austere and stony, with aromas of wet rocks, lemon pith and a hint of aldehyde. It's light bodied and vivacious on the palate, shimmying in lemon-crème acidity that leads into a long, refreshing and slightly savory finish.”

"Sour apple-candy aromas have cooling, herbaceous notes. A soft, mouthfilling mousse carries that sour green-apple note onto the palate. It's hit with saline minerality, trailing into an herbaceous, refreshing finish. Although most sparkling wines pair well with a variety of foods, this one is especially epicurean."

“This deep, coral-colored sparkling wine lets you know right up front that it is to be taken seriously. Apple-juice aromas mingle with hints of petrol, toffee and caramelized onion. Those savory notes develop further on the palate, with a rich, teriyaki-like flavor that's brightened up with apple and a hint of cranberry.”

“Very ripe pineapple and lychee aromas bound out of the glass, backed by just a hint of wood smoke. More pineapple comes through on an off-dry, medium-bodied palate, as well as some deeper honeyed notes. But vibrant acidity keeps this wine feeling light and playful. Lychee, rose and an unexpectedly refreshing hint of dill pickle last long into the finish.”

“Aromas of lemon and lime zest, slate and salinity hint at a wine that's racy and linear. And indeed, it is just that, but soft hints of pineapple and grapefruit-gummy candy add a lively, playful aspect. The medium-length finish is savory and mineral. This is an easygoing wine that will be well suited to cocktail parties and snacks.”

It has the clean balance of a vintage without extremes, a sweet adolescent beauty delivered in high-toned spice and meadow-flower scents. There’s underlying toasty richness, but the main element is a freshness that can carry off that glistening impression of sweetness. Decant it for chawanmushi (a delicate, savory Japanese custard) or serve it with a bacon-and-onion quiche.

Both subtlety and ripe richness are conveyed with the mellow apple, hayflower and lemon aromas of this wine. The palate comes in with 2018's mellow ripeness but presents a bundled, textured midpalate that shows off the ripe freshness and dry excellence of Riesling, all in a buffered and harmonious package.

With its tart flavors of cider apples allayed by some richer puff pastry notes, this is lean and focused in the finish, almost tannic in its yellow fruit-skin power.

Ripe and juicy, this is a voluptuous sparkler with scents of roses and red fruit. It ends smoky and a little bitter, ready to pour with Morbier.

Grapey and clean, with green-apple fruit, this is a gentle Riesling with honeyed richness. For fruit and cheese.
