"Aromas of freshly cut Fuji and Granny Smith apples, stone fruits and white flowers lead to vibrant minerality and bright fruit flavors. The creamy mid-palate is framed by well-integrated French oak and lively acidity that carry through to a refreshingly long finish."

"Taste is firm, rounded, mouth-filling with a pineyness to the hops and a bitter smack of a finish. This is an excellent IPA for those of us who aren't hop-heads...."

"A rich, inviting red, with overtones of roasted coffee bean, licorice and smoke to the juicy blackberry, cassis and plum skin fruit character, leading to a Mocha Java aftertaste."

"Deep violet in color,this lush pinot noir carries expressive aromas of wild berries,rose petals and cola. The palate, silky and balanced, explodes with dark raspberry, plum, clove and cocoa. Ripe currant and blackberry harmonize over a long, toasty finish supported by round tannins."

"The succulent aroma develops with aeration in the sweet forms of barley, cream, light caramel, and a trace of tropical fruit. Palate entry is round, borderline plump, breakfast-cereal sweet, and honeyed; at midpalate, there’s a slightly oily peat smoke. Sweetly concludes with the focus on the malt." 90-95 pts.

"Nose: Peppermint, sugared almonds, hint of sherry, spicy-smoky. Body: Remarkably creamy texture for a relatively light malt. Palate: Minty-clean, creamy, malty. Finish: Mellow, warming."

"With its broad array of origins and clones, this wine displays red aromas (candied cherry, pomegranate and raspberry) on the nose and the palate. In addition, one finds a light touch of brown spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, all-spice). True to our house style, it is elegantly textured with seamlessly integrated, silky, polished tannins. Pair it with salmon or ahi, veal or pork, poultry (think duck) or beef, or hearty vegetarian entrees"

"....The flavor is a nice flowery spice accompanied by caramel sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied and very easily drinkable. Excellent beer from Brooklyn...."

"Light golden amber color. Delicate aromas of mashed figs, saddle soap, cocoa, vanilla and nutmeg follow through on a soft, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body. Finishes with a mineral accented fade with a lot moss and touch of bath soap." Silver Medal.
