Second installment of reviews of wines from the southern tip of the Garden State, these are all from Hawk Haven Vineyard, just North of Cape May.Thanks, actually sounds like worth a stop. Cape May is so beautiful that drinkable wine is a bonus!
2022 Dry Rose
Peachy pink color, grape/strawberry nose, strawberry & tart cherry flavors, somewhat like Provence rose.
2022 Riesling
Very light straw color, typical peach and gasoline aromas, semi-sweet flavors of peach/honey/melon. Easy to like.
2022 Sauvignon Blanc
Pale gold in appearance, atypical aromas of peach and Meyer lemon, apricot & pear flavors with a touch of lime, a trace sweet. Not what I expect from SB, but pleasant enough.

Do you know if the rose is Provencal-esque varieties (Mouvedre, grenache, cinsault, carignan, etc)?

I'll give them a try. That ros|- especially sounds quite appealing.
