* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A kitchen-sink blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer, this wine showcases a rich combination of tropical fruit, pear and pink grapefruit with grassy overtones and just a hint of toast.

This blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc shows why many people like to compare Long Island to Bordeaux. Tastes like a Bordeaux, with dark cassis and coffee flavors. Built like a Bordeaux, to age.

Ripe melons and pears dance a delicate duet on the palate—softly and gently shifting ever so slightly from honeydew to Bosc and back, before turning lean and citrusy on the finish.

Already showing some signs of age in its slightly browning rim, this Cab boasts scents of eucalyptus, vanilla, cinnamon and red cherries, but it's all overly delicate-almost lacy. There's just not enough there to score higher despite its charms.

Very floral aromatics mark this distinctive effort; it’s positively overflowing with rose petals. Turns more musky and spicy in the mouth, before fading away a little abruptly.

Very crisp, and loaded with tart green apples and lemons, this would be an ideal match for light fish or shellfish dishes. This is what unadulterated cool-climate Chardonnay tastes like.

Heavy oak treatment marries well with this wine's dark, roasted black-cherry flavors, turning into chocolate and espresso on the finish. Has the structure to last a few years in the cellar but can be drunk now.

The characteristic Gewürz aromas of rose petals and lychee are partially masked by honey and apricot, but they’re still there, giving this sticky a delightfully exotic edge. Try this moderately viscous sweet wine with a creamy blue-veined cheese for a special flavor/texture match.

Bold and brawny, the Palmer Merlot offers up convincing scents of mulberries and vanilla backed up by a palate that’s both juicy and gripping. Cherry, fall leaves and plum pudding flavors characterize the medium finish. Drink now or hold a few years for finer tannins.

A smoked oak treatment in the barrels lends a unique nose to this plum and berry-forward wine. On the palate, the taste of that oak wanders into the realm of roasted, though the ripeness of the fruit helps to balance. Not much dimension. Pair with pork or red meat.
