MTB's Review:

A deep garnet color, this is a medium-bodied wine with a soft nose with nice notes of cherry. In the mouth, cherry is again the predominant note with a pleasant vanilla finish from the oak.

MTB's Review:

A blend of Villard Noir, Chambourcin, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon fermented in stainless steel for 20 days and then transferred to aged French Oak before being racked in American oak. The result is a lighter-bodied table wine with soft notes of cherry and dark berries and pleasant notes of toast on the finish.

MTB's Review:

A blend of Rubiana grape with a bit of Merlot, this was a surprisingly pleasant drinkable table wine. Garnet colored, the nose is lovely with rich cherry notes and that "sea-air tang" that I often find in northeastern reds. Aged for one year in French oak, the wine is on the light side of medium-bodied with subtle notes of cherry and light spice on the end which provides an interesting finish.

MTB's Review:

The nose was lovely (in my notes I actually underlined lovely several times) with that rich, deep sweetness that you so often get from Vidal Blanc grapes. In the mouth, the wine is smooth and rich, with soft notes of apricot. Definitely a nice dessert wine, the Sirrius would also be good sipped on its own as an aperitif.

MTB's Review:

Made from estate-grown Chancellor grapes and aged for two years in American Oak before being fortified with brandy. The result is a rich port wine, with notes of cherry and a slightly peppery finish.

MTB's Review:

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Chancellor and Lemberger, this, like the Petite Red, is a nice "utility-player" table red, although this is a richer, more complex wine than the Petite Red. The nose has soft floral notes, and in the mouth there are light notes of blueberry, a touch of grassiness, and a very light toastiness from the oak.

MTB's Review:

While I'd probably rank this in the middle of the pack of New England Cab Francs I've tasted to date, I did enjoy this wine. A lovely garnet color that caught the light nicely, the wine has an interesting plum & pepper nose. In the mouth, the wine has notes of black currants and a touch of grassiness. The oak brings out notes of musty leather in the nose and an earthiness in the mouth that provides a sharp, dry finish.

MTB's Review:

A blend of younger estate grapes (interestingly they didn't share the specific varietals), this is a decent table wine. Red-purple in color, the nose is bright and fruity, and there are bright notes of berries and cherry on the palate. The Petite Red could pair with a wide variety of food, and would definitely be a"utility-player" wine to keep on hand.

MTB's Review:

A blend of Lemberger, Cabernet Franc and Chancellor, this is a medium-bodied, fairly complex wine. The color is a lovely dark plum and the nose has rich notes of plum. In the mouth the wine opens with notes of spice and a hint of cinnamon and has rich notes of plum and cherries on the finish. There's an interesting musty earthiness, particularly on the finish, that gives the wine some character.

MTB's Review:

Barrel fermented and sur lie aged for one year in French Oak, the Reserve Chardonnay has lovely notes of both fruit and floral in the nose and soft notes of melon in the mouth. The oak provides a light buttery smoothness and subtle notes of honey. There's a nice balance of acid to round out the wine and give it depth and interest.
