Grabbed on the recommendation of a very helpful dude at Total Wine, very impressed with the subtle, mature red fruit with a slight jammy finish in the background. Tack sharp on the palate, great finish. Superb value and drinks well above its price point! — 21 days ago

Absolutely in love with Long Island Merlots as something about them hits differently than the same grape from other regions. Something about this setting, the terroir and the amazing company that truly sets this apart. Buy more then a single bottle of you see it in the wild! — 4 months ago

A reason to love Cab Franc - expressive, smooth on the palette and nice rounded finish. Wish I could find this in the U.S.! — 6 months ago

Pretty solid dry Rosé! - a “Super Rosé” from Bordeaux that drinks well above the price point! Clean crisp finish and heartiness that perfectly straddles a serious big French Red with a crisp summer sipper. Bring home a second bottle! — 2 months ago

An absolutely brilliant, soft and light touch Pinot Noir. Paired exceptionally well with a swordfish meal at one of New York’s swankiest spots. Buy more than a single bottle at a time! — 9 months ago
