BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan | Deep lemon-gold. Evolving, slightly lifted floral and honey nose. Powerful palate, with warming alcohol and medium acidity. Muscular, with a sweet feel to the finish. | 16

Marcel Orford-Williams | Clean apples for a change. Earthy, too. Dry, full-flavored Riesling, withatouch of sweetness. Spicy, mineral, savory. Touch of residual sugar, but it’s nicely in check. Lots of focus. | 18

Tom Stevenson | Light balance of rich fruit; creamy; some tangerine. | 17
