Blueberries. Sounds crazy but I'm serious. Charming little sweetie. Guessing 2-3% residual but good acid balance all around

It would be easier to convince me that this is Gewurztraminer rather than Riesling. This wine has an extremely floral nose of honeysuckle and rose with hints of lipstick, the palate is more honeysuckle and apricot finishing very floral; the acidity is just okay and the wine finishes sweet. I'm just not a fan.

A nice Cabernet - Merlot blend of eminent character & balance. Soft, smooth finish thanks to the Merlot. Blend had lesser amounts of Syrah & 6 other grapes so this is actually a Bordeaux. Blending adds complexity of flavor, including mixed berry jam, pepper & nuts.
JIM & LINDA REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE!

This was great, I need to try it again if I want to take good notes.

Nice nose, floral and varietally correct, medium body, not enough bite to balance out the sweetness. 2014

Notes of honeysuckle, pear and lime on the notes. Wonderfully balanced mild acidity with a lingering finish. Not sweet, not dry - nicely down the middle. Goes wonderfully with creamy chicken dijon.
