A rich, luscious white, offering peach, honey, butterscotch, lime blossom and toast aromas and flavors. Open and inviting, with a nice kick of acidity on the expansive finish. Drink now through 2027. - Bruce Sanderson

Coffee and vanilla aromas segue into peach, hazelnut, oak spice and oyster shell notes. This lean, sinewy white is on the tart side yet offers excellent length. Best from 2025 through 2032. - Bruce Sanderson

Aromas of toasty oak, butterscotch and graphite lead off, with effusive flavors of peach and apple. This white turns dry and lean on the finish, yet there's no less intensity to its flavors. Drink now through 2030. - Bruce Sanderson

This white is racy and well-delineated, featuring aromas and flavors of lemon oil, apple, butterscotch, graphite and baking spices on an elegant profile. The flavors just won't quit as this winds down on the long, complex aftertaste. Drink now through 2030. - Bruce Sanderson

This savory and robust Cabernet Sauvignon is full flavored while friendly, offering flavors of dried and sweet tobacco, bay leaf, dark-chocolate coated cherries and layers of oak spice. Silken tannins persist into a long finish. —E.C.B. 

Layers of sweet and savory spices and dried tobacco mix with dripping ripe plums and blackberries for a rich, generous wine. Palate-filling, powdery-fine tannins keep the wine lingering in the mouth through a long finish. —E.C.B

This Grand Cru Champagne is as refreshihg as it is opulent: Fresh butter, lemon zest, crips green apple, juicy apricot, and a smattering of fresh ginger ripple gently over the palate, leaving citrus minerality. Thanks to the cool, rainy vintage, it’s drinkable now, although the acid will enable it to age for years to come.

A frothy mousse reveals a golden, lemony richness with acid that keeps you on the hook. Lemon curd, lemon rid, yellow apple, and red Anjou pear (right down to its earthy skin) are wrapped in a creamy, silky texture that unfulrs into chalky minerality. For vintage Premier Cru Champagne, the price cannot be beat.

Soft, dry, and floral: Heady apple blosson softens into yuzu, lime zest, and fresh lemongrass in this classic blend of Charonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier sourced from Premier Cru vineyards. 

A slick, streamlined, and well-made blanc de blancs: Sourdough leads into soft lemon-lime notes and almond skin over an undercurrent of talcum powder and salinity.
