The heart and soul of red wine on Long Island, the 2010 vintage illustrates why Merlot has been lauded by vineyard managers, winemakers and critics alike. Structured and elegant, this Merlot is bursting with ripe aromas and flavors. Vanilla, toasted pine nuts and chocolate mint segue into plum jam, star anise and cinnamon leaving a long dynamic finish. Cellar aging will certainly be rewarded for at least 10 years to come.
Amazing complexity, dark fruits and peppery tannins all balanced by a great acidity making this a great pair with steak or hard cheese. This wine keeps giving as the flavors and aromas linger for ages; a sign of a quality.
