Well integrated Cabernet Franc. Dark plum and blackberry fruit flavors. Big hints of green pepper with notes of earth and slate. A bit of a medicinal flavor on the finish. Low acid and can be served chilled. One of their last Long Island vintages. — 7 years ago

My third time having this wine and the best showing yet. This wine is full of rich, brambly fruits but has such a razor-like acidity to keep things in balance. Superb. — 8 years ago
Bought it yesterday. Very nice taste, semi dry semi sweet. But there's no produce year in the bottle. — 9 years ago

Nothing says fall like a good Sauvignon Blanc from north fork Long Island. Refreshing, just the right balance of something not too sweet and not to dry. Salud — 6 years ago

This Long Island white wine does not smell/taste like a traditional Viognier. (No floral nose for example). That being said, this is still a pretty good wine.
Apple, apricot and peach aromas and flavors with a hint of limestone. Great acidity. Not what I expected, but.... — 8 years ago

Deeper and less sour Pet-Nat than most! Got that spackle/paper-maché thing happening with some sweet strawberry! Pound-able! — 10 years ago

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
