Illegitimi Non Carborundum The Farrm Vineyard Cabernet Franc Blend 2014

Wonderful Long Island Bordeaux-style red blend from a winery that no longer exists. Blend of Cabernet Franc (50%), Malbec (25%) and Petite Verdot (25%). Dark ruby/purple color with just a bit of fade on the rim. Aromas of black/blue fruit, granite dust and intense lavender. Flavors of black cherry/currant fruit, blueberries, leafy herbs with a mineral backbone from start to the end of the very long finish. Touch of a pleasant phenollic funk. Medium bodied and well balanced. Silky tannins and quite complex. This bottle aged nicely. I miss visiting the “tasting shed” at this winery. — 2 months ago

Love Habit Cabernet Franc

2015 vintage; licorice, earthy, leather, black berries on the nose. Good medium to high acidity, dried black cherry, blackberry, cough syrup. Dusty tannins, noticiably grippy. Lingering dry finish. Varietal character with its own personality. — 4 years ago

Te Muna Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Nice, fresh and vibrant Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. Gooseberry (reminded me of growing up on the farm at home) and hints of subdued grapefruit. Beautiful light gold color, crystal clear. Not from Marlborough on the northern end of the South Island but Martinborough on the North Island. Very interesting region that grows all their grapes on a strip of 3-4 miles long and 1-2 miles wide raised tectonic plate of alluvial gravel. Pinot noir is king in this region, but this Sauvignon blanc was also very nice. — 5 years ago

Unequivocally the best NY wine I’ve had! Dark berries and inky, but not at all overbearing. Integrated well! — 3 years ago

A day later the fruit is near perfect. Not sure what blew off, but now totally balanced.
