Cuveé Brut Rosé 2003
Produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, this is our first vintage of a Rosé Champagne. Full-bodied, with vivid fruit flavors, smooth crisp texture and a lingering finish. A true celebration!
Blanc de Blanc 2002
A truly exceptional Blanc de Blanc Methode Champenoise Champagne made from select mature Chardonnay estate vines. Its intensity in the nose and on the palate is in perfect harmony with its smooth, dry and beautifully balanced finish. A great champagne for both celebration and consolation.
Chardonnay 2003 0.3% rs
Made in the restrained French Style, the Chardonnay is barrel fermented in
French oak. The nose and taste reveal a dry, full-bodied, complex wine showing
classic Chardonnay fruit subtly enhanced with oak. It is well balanced, smooth
and dry with a nice long finish
Reserve Chardonnay 2003
Similar in characteristics to the non-Reserve Chardonnay, but wonderfully intense in flavor that will only increase with age. Even at this young age, the nose and taste exhibit distinct aromas of fig, apples, oak and minerals. A beautiful, full-bodied and well-rounded wine with fine acidity and a smooth, lingering finish.
Pinot Noir 2005 0.3% rs
A medium-bodied, smooth, dry wine with some of the best Pinot Noir characteristics - garnet red in color, French oak and black cherries in the nose and taste, and a light tannin effect on the tongue
Cabernet Franc 2005 0.3% rs
Until recently, Cabernet Franc was primarily used to enhance the complexity
of the great Bordeaux and other Cabernet Sauvignon wines, but it has now come
into its own. This wine possesses all the wonderful characteristics of a great
vintage - well balanced, aromatic with a soft and lingering finish.
Estate Red 0.3% rs
A bright and lively blend of Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Lemberger (a classic German variety). Its vibrant flavors instantly impact the tongue with black current and plum, and hints of leather and tobacco. An energetic, well-structured wine with good tannins. Enjoy on a daily basis.
Dry Rosé NV 0.4% rs
An unusually full-bodied rosé with hints of raspberry and a long dry
finish. It is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Pinot Noir Rosé 2006
100% Pinot Noir - cold fermented on the skins for 7-10 days, resulting in a rich earthy full mouth feel.Like a true French Rosé!
Gewürztraminer 2006 2.3% rs
This medium dry, distinctive wine has a beautiful nose, full of peaches, apples and melons, and perfumed with rose petals. A light citrus touch to the taste and finish make this an excellent example of "Spicy Traminer".
Dry Riesling 2006 0.9% rs
A crisp dry Riesling in the classic German Mosel Kabinett style. The nose
is light and delicate with hints of fresh fruit. Elegant in taste, it is smooth
and well balanced with a crisp, clean finish. An outstanding party, reception
and general drinking wine.
Dry Riesling Reserve 2005 1.2% rs
A worthy successor to the 2002 Reserve Dry Riesling that won the coveted NY State Governor's Cup, this wine has good structure and great acid/sugar balance. The hints of apples, pears and minerals in the nose are also found in the taste, in classic Kabinett style. A fresh, lively wine with a pleasant lingering finish on the palate.
Semi-Dry Riesling 2006 2.4% rs
An exceptionally smooth, pleasant wine in the true Spätlese Rhine style. It has a lovely balanced nose and taste with a soft finish.
Late Harvest Riesling 2006 3.4% rs
An Alsatian-style late harvest wine exhibiting the apricots and honey flavors of botrytised fruit. This wine is rich, and full-bodied with delicately balanced sugar and acid. Though a late harvest style, this wine is a beautiful accompaniment with food.
Select Late Harvest Riesling 2003 13.0% rs
This special Reserve Late Harvest Riesling already has distinctive hints of apricots and peaches, enhanced by overtones of honey from the 60% botrytised fruit. It is smooth, with delicately balanced sugar and acid. An exceptional wine to savor on its own with friends or matched with appropriate foods.
