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

Showed very well at 8 years old. Always fun to taste the older Southold wines from their time back on Long Island. — 2 years ago

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

This is a first, CVed to taste for dry red for Evan cooking but the nose was great, lean yet floral, with leanness all the through on palate. Acidic firm texture, will be good food wine — 3 months ago

Dark ruby; tar, spice, and brambly berries on the nose; black cherry, pepper, and smoke with lively acidity and depth; chewy tannins with a long lingering finish. Maturing already and one of the best from the producers, who have decamped to Bordeaux. — 2 years ago
