A sparkling wine with lots of strawberry and cherry aromas, as well as pear and apple undertones. It’s full-bodied with a fine-grained, creamy texture. Light cotton-candy character in the aftertaste. Yummy is the word. Drink now.”

Ultrasmooth and creamy (as the name suggests), this gentle and mouthcoating wine shows light marzipan and baked apple aromas, rich apple-tart flavors and a lingering, buttery finish. It’s delicious and nicely complex, too.”

A new offering from Scharffenberger, this Black Label wine is nicely complex and layered. It starts with aromas of meringue, lemon and butter, leading to ripe but crisp flavors of Pippin apple, Meyer lemon and grilled baguette on a medium body. Tiny bubbles and persistent flavors keep it going strong, including a lingering finish.”

A well-rounded, supple texture surrounds attractive toast and nut flavors in this suave and mouthfilling wine. Notes of biscuit, peach and toasted bread give it a nice sense of maturity and complexity.”

This crisp and classy wine tastes dry, tight but complex from the persimmon and raspberry aromas to the lively white-raspberry and white-peach flavors. It has taut acidity balanced by touches of spicy maturity that keep it interesting through the lingering finish.”

While this wine feels gentle, its briskness brightens its scents of strawberries and nasturtiums. It’s pinot noir at the cusp of ripeness, holding a floral green note that would take on duck rillettes.”
