Lemons and peach jam fill the nose, along with a compelling aromatic closer of flint and fresh-grated ginger. The wine feels creamy and full in the mouth, with a nice bit of acidity to keep things lively. White grapefruit and Golden Delicious apple flavors are complemented by a nice lemon gelato note. — Michael Alberty

Elk Cove is a Clay Court master the equal of Rafael Nadal. Each vintage of this wine is excellent, and the 2022 is as nimble and light on its feet as Nadal in his best year. Blueberries, raspberries, orange blossoms and buckwheat pancakes are this wine’s opening aromatic volley. Raspberries take over on the palate, backhanded by explosions of oregano, nutmeg and black tea. Game, set, match. — Michael Alberty

Walking through a garden after a much-needed summer rain might give you a sense of the Five Mountain’s earthy pleasures. Additional aromas of sweet red raspberries and a walnut scone are merely icing on the earthy cake. This is a balanced wine, with gentle acidity and silky tannins accompanying flavors of tart pie cherries, cacao and cinnamon. — Michael Alberty

Always a standard bearer, the latest Pinot Gris from Elk Cove is excellent. Fresh-grated lemon zest and orange blossom aromas are accented by a wee bit of wet slate. The wine, which was whole-cluster pressed and cold fermented in small stainless steel tanks, possesses flavors ranging from grapefruit lightly sprinkled in sugar to a green apple gummy bear. — Michael Alberty

The slightly sweet aromas of ripe melon and cinnamon are joined by traces of fresh-cut hay and wet slate. A brisk, crisp mouthfeel unites in lively fashion with flavors like honeydew melon, apple pectin, lemon and tonic water. I look forward to pouring this with a softball-sized burrata. — Michael Alberty

Open this bottle when food is present, because it will induce hunger pangs. The temptations begin with an aromatic mix of dark raspberries, sprigs of fresh rosemary and a plate of fried plantains. Then Mount Richmond erupts with rich flavors of blackberry gelato, fried sage and a touch of orange zest. — Michael Alberty
