Wine experts say this White wine shows the qualities of late harvest 2007 vintage. It has lighter skin-derived aromas, more fruity flavors and a crisp, clean character. There is also a great swathe of citrus. Ready to drink now. This wine has a dry, firm character that will probably remain this wine`s age. It also has attractive red fruits and acidity. The acidity is likely to be right by the wood, giving it a final lift. In this fine wine, the acidity is not dominant, but the ripe red fruits and smoky aftertaste suggest drinking well. A fragrantly floral wine, the aftertaste shows a hint of wood, obviously made to appeal to the modern style. The wine has fresh fruit, light tannins and a juicy aftertaste. This blend of Nero d`Avola and Syrah opens with savory aromas of cured meat, dried berry, cola and licorice.

Wine experts say this White wine shows the promise of Viognier in New Zealand. Varietally familiar aromas of melon, melon and white peach start it off, but serve as a rich introduction to savory new wine. The flavors are ripe and thick in feel, lightly peppery, just edged with peppery herb. Powerful and very long. Marked by zingy acidity, this is a lively but ultimately tannic wine. There`s a sweet spot between the acidity and sweet fruit, and the wine could go either with food or as a cocktail. This blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has produced a ripe, juicy wine that has the potential to age well. It has weight, red fruits and soft tannins. The blend is Syrah, a Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine experts say this White wine is too soft and weedy for its own good. The tannins are also hard, which is to say, it lacks Signature Riesling flavors. So, it`s not a big, satisfying dessert wine. It might improve with a few years in the cellar. Full, fresh, fruity wine, with flavors of peach, orange and melon, but it lacks a full satisfying character. The Zephyr Stag Lunches are delicious and generous, but must be aged in large oak mats, to round out the fresh white fruits and Sauvignon Blanc flavors. The acidity is just right, and the wine should be decanted now, but it does seem to get old on the finish. A St. Supery, smoky wine that is full of juicy red berries and acidity. It has stalky, almost vegetal, flavors, with lots of new French oak.
