this is really good--generous up front, but with a lot more going on that I'd have expected. I'm nerdy on the prospect of cab franc on Long Island , and this is the best I've had in a long time.

This is a serious Long Island wine, black fruit, mushrooms, and pickles on the nose, and it changes in the glass with what was going in my mouth. Tasty!

Says @Jon Bonné: What exactly does Long Island wine want to be: A New York tribute to Bordeaux? A Chardonnay powerhouse? @Regan Meador and his wife Carey landed on the North Fork intending none of those things. They Kickstartered an effort for "weird grapes" but they also chose to interpret the island's current fare in novel ways. Really, this is about a simple question, and an essential one: What could New York be if it stopped trying to be everybody else? The Meadors offer some compelling answers.
Cabernet Franc from their neighbor's organic (a rarity on L.I.) vineyard. It's fermented with whole grape clusters to add aromatic lift and immediate fruitiness. While they quote the Loire and Beaujolais as inspiration, Fate strikes me as more unique than that, with a charcoal-like dark tone to its spicy flavors.
