"Our signature blend, once again delivers with generous ripe fruit flavors – notes of fresh plum, red cherry, and blackberry. Barrel time in French oak offers hints of vanilla, and savory roasted thyme. Well-integrated and balanced, the 2010 vintage offers a polished, lifted finish."

"This complex blend has a rich bouquet of dark berries, spice and vanilla bean. Well structured tannins frame the way for flavors of boysenberry and black cherry to disperse across the palate. Enjoy this rich blendwith pheasant, braised meats, and hard cheeses."

"Firm and focused,this red is light on its feet but substantial in its cherry, wet earth and sage flavors. Lingers nicely."

"Aromas of honeysuckle and tropical pineapple practically leap out of the glass. The intense sweetness is framed by generous acidity, elegant herbaceous grasses, and ripe apricot."

"Deep purple color, yet not opaque. A sense of finesse in the color which suggests liveliness on the palate. The mouth feel is angular, with grace and precision. The 2010 vintage produced a savory character in the wines, like that of fennel, salt, tar and steel. Highly integrated tannins, dusty in a sense, alongside protective acidity guarding against premature oxidation."

"Seven Hills Winery’s new releases include one white wine, a 2010 Riesling made in a Kabinett style with 10.9% alcohol, 1.8% residual sugar, and plenty of natural acidity. Aromas of mineral, citrus, and spring flowers inform the nose of a crisp, refreshing wine that is ideal for use as an aperitif."

"Living up to its name, this easy-drinking, fruit-forward blend, has become a breakout favorite in the Baer blend lineup. Supple and silky, with a fresh acidity. Pretty red currant and cranberry are joined by roasted coffee and cocoa powder."

"Exhibition smells of cassis, sealing wax, and nut oils. Juicy and persistent, its bitter aspects enhanced by an impression of huckleberry, this fine value and ideal introduction to the winery’s house style ought to prove versatile over the next several years."

"Black cherry and cranberry, vanilla roasting on an open fire, plum and other exotic aromas all hint at a deep and complex wine. The wine’s entry is bright and deceptively soft, hiding the underlying structure of firm fine-grain tannins. Layers of fruit with pleasing notes of toast and chocolate envelop the palate. The finish is lingering and savory, inviting another sip of our 2010 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon."
