This new vintage of Petit Verdot is absolutely delicious! We now know and are convinced of the great potential of Petit Verdot as a stand-alone grape here on the East End of Long Island. We have made Petit Verdot into a delicious red wine in the 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and now 2020 vintages and there is no doubt it is a star in our cellar. This tenth vintage proves it!

Petit Verdot is a black grape variety most often found in the red blends of the Medoc region of Bordeaux. Planted in small quantities around the world it is a small-berried, thick-skinned variety. Our 2020 version is comprised of 75% Petit Verdot (from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville) and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon (from the original Mudd Vineyard in Southold on the North Fork). Those are special-old Cabernet vines planted back in 1974.

Our 2020 Petit Verdot is a dark, dry, spicy, deep ruby red wine full of black and blue fruit character. The wine is rich and delicious, very aromatic and almost too easy to drink. Purple flowers, minerals, blueberries, black currants, wet stone, wild blackberries, and brown spice are all there along with a touch of licorice or anise. So too is depth, purity and sex appeal. The wine is long, enticing, concentrated, textural, complex...simply, utterly delicious!

There is balance of fruit character, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity, ripe, grippy tannins and integrated oak. As with all our red wines this wine was made from hand-harvested fruit that was de-stemmed, fermented wild, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. The wine was raised in all older/neutral oak barrels for 30 months.

This wine will match fantastically with prime rib, roast lamb and pork, grilled steaks, smoked bluefish, mushrooms, duck confit, squab and grain dishes.

Our 2020 Petit Verdot is really a baby still and while approachable and delectable now the wine will continue to improve in the bottle and reward for more than a decade.

PRO TIP: Buy a case and put at least three to six of those bottles away for a long time!

We only made 218 cases, so don't wait to secure some. It may not last that long!

2024 Ramato

2024 Ramato
Buy Now: $26.00

Wine Club Member Exclusive through Sept'26

Our Ramato is a special skin-fermented white wine, or what many are now calling an "orange" wine. Ramato refers to the old Friulian style of fermenting Pinot Grigio on its skins, thus creating a coppery-colored wine (in fact the Italian word “Ramato” refers to the copper color).

All the Pinot Grigio fruit (from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork) for our Ramato was hand-picked, handled minimally, fermented on its skins (with wild/ambient yeast) in small bins for an average of eighteen days and raised in stainless steel tanks for eight months.

Not only is the wine alluring and delicious to smell and taste but our Ramato possesses an absolutely gorgeous color to admire...star-bright and somewhere between electric orange and burnished copper. There are aromas and flavors of honey, brown spices, chamomile, dried apricots, pear skin, tropical citrus, earl grey tea, baked apples, caramel and peaches.

The wine has balanced acidity, only 12% alcohol, medium-plus body and great persistence of flavor on the finish. This dry, exotic, textured and aromatic wine falls somewhere between a white and a red but does not fit neatly into the pink category, thus the “orange”.

Pair our Ramato with hard cheeses, charcuterie, fish, chicken and pork preparations that include spices, nuts, grains or squash. Also lightly spiced and earthy foods will work marvelously with this wine. Our 2024 Ramato will be a great addition to the table year-round with its cornucopia of savory and sweet aromas juxtaposed by dryness and complex texture.

This is an exceedingly delicious and exciting wine that yearns to be seen, smelled and tasted. Drink this wine now at cellar temp in large glasses and over the next six plus years. 608 cases produced.

2025 Tocai Friulano – Sylvanus Vineyard

We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! This delightful 2025 white wine is 100% Tocai Friulano from our Sylvanus Vineyard on the home farm in Bridgehampton. We are one of just a couple of producers growing and making Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, and one of only a handful in the United States.

Our Tocai was harvested by hand, whole cluster-pressed, fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks on its lees for eight months. We have been growing this white grape since 1999. Native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Northeast Italy, our version offers wonderful aromas and flavors of green and yellow apples, white grapefruit, green almonds, minerals, talc, Asian pears, white flowers, green melon and spice.

Our Tocai is pale straw in color with gold/green reflections, the wine is bone dry and possesses medium-body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and great persistence on the long, flavorful finish. There is an alluring sea salt minerality that keeps you coming back for more. This Tocai has a great mouthfeel and manages the very gratifying textural paradox of a light, fresh, aromatic wine with a weighty, fleshy, fluidity that is just delightful.

This is the quintessential prosciutto wine and works well with other hams, salumi, fresh cheeses, fricos, pastas and risotto. Also, white fleshed fish dishes and our local clams (in pasta, casino, baked, raw or on a pizza!) are a tasty match.

We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. 398 cases produced.
