My riesling experience is quite limited, but I thought this was nice. Dry style. Nice fruit and good balance, though not particularly distinctive for me. $15 retail.
Soft cherry fruit on the nose. Palate of rich cherries and milk chocolate. Lush mouthfeel. This is nice, soft ,straightforward cabernet and ready-to-drink now
Nose of coffee ground, roasted red fruit, and a touch of heat. There's fruit on the palate, but it seems a touch "green." Very tight and tart on the finish. With time this opens up and softens, and becomes pretty appealing in a classic Napa cab way.
Solid nose of chocolate, coffee and cherries. Palate is rocking -- with creamy cherries, chocolate and toasty oak. Great purity of flavor and balance. There's structure here, but an opulence as well. Outstanding! $45 retail.

Nice, easy sauvignon blanc with telltale NZ characteristics. Jalapeno pepper, gooseberry and grassy flavors, enlivened with vibrant acidity. Solid stuff. $15 retail.
