Aromas of lush black cherries, coffee grinds and darkly toasted oak meld effortlessly in winemaker Roman Roth’s powerful Long Island Merlot. After 21 months in French oak, the wine is smooth as silk yet intensely focused with a rich fruit palate accented by hints of forest floor and bramble, velvety soft tannins and a balanced astringency. Lovely all around.

This Riesling is the project of Roman Roth, accomplished winemaker for Long Island’s Wolffer Estate. Tropical fruit and pear in the nose and on the palate is balanced by a nice minerality and spice. The wine has depth but is still refreshing. Pair with Thai food, fruit.

This late harvest Riesling from Roman Roth’s namesake winery, Grapes of Roth, is a triumph for Long Island Riesling. Lush aromas of superripe honeydew, tangerines and white florals have an intriguing undertone of wax and lanolin. On the palate, jasmine tea and a lingering minerality add depth to the rich sweetness of honeysuckle and stone fruit.

Made from one of the best vintages ever on Long Island, and backed by Roman Roth, the winemaking talent behind Wolffer Estate, Shinn Estate and Roanoke. For the most part, it delivers with notes of exotic spice, spearmint and cherry in the nose, and a supple, smoked meat and herbal character whose parts come together with elegance.

A harmonious wine, with nuances of black currants, crushed blackberries and red raspberries backed up by gripping tannins and fresh acidity. Medium, plum-flavored finish. Try with game. Best now to 2011.
