This bone dry, aromatic white wine is a true field blend comprised of 60% Muscat, 30% Pinot Grigio and 10% Pinot Bianco all grown together, harvested together and fermented together. Sylvanus is not only the name of the wine, but the name of the vineyard and the legendary Green Man who this vineyard and wine honor. In creating a field blend as opposed to blending different wine lots together, we are capturing the essence of our time and place as expressed by the vineyard Sylvanus. All of the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed, fermented in stainless steel barrels (48%) and older oak barrels (52%). The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on May 31, 2011. Our 2010 Sylvanus is pale straw in color and possesses a clean, pronounced aromatic personality. The wine is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol and juicy acidity. The flavors and aromas are reminiscent of grapes, tangerines, grapefruit, minerals and flowers like honeysuckle and nasturtium. Our Sylvanus is juicy, tangy and alive with a long gratifying almost spicy and saline finish. This is the perfect aperitif wine and also pairs with stuffed squash blossoms, fresh cheeses, oysters and clams on the half shell, light salads, or charcuterie. There is a lovely interplay between the light, ethereal qualities of this wine and its satisfying ripeness and swelling texture. Our 2010 Sylvanus encompasses the paradoxical quality of aromatic lift, lightness and fleshy weight. 518 cases and twenty kegs of the 2010 vintage were produced and we are proud to offer you this playful yet serious wine. Return to Menu $24   2011 Sauvignon Blanc Mudd Vineyard SOLD OUT This is a clean, crisp dry white wine that displays mineral and citrus fruit flavors and aromas. This wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks with no malo-lactic fermentation. This wine was made from the fruit of some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines on Long Island which were planted in 1975. The soil in the Mudd Vineyard is mostly Haven Loam with some portions being Riverhead Sandy Loam. As always, all the fruit was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, handled minimally and bottled by gravity. As we often do, a small amount of Chardonnay (17%) is blended in for aromatic flavor and textural complexity. This is a dynamic wine exhibiting medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long lasting, persistent finish with beautiful subtlety and delicacy. The 2011 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, vibrant and alive! It possesses flavors and aromas of white grapefruit, lime, herbs, cut grass, a salty minerality and even some hints of tropical fruits like lychee, likely coming from the musque clone chardonnay. Our 2011 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is just plain delicious and will match well with local oysters and clams, fresh chevre, spring onions and ramps, charcuterie, asparagus and egg dishes as well as most white fleshed fish. 582 cases made. Return to Menu $20   2011 Sauvignon Blanc Mudd West Vineyard SOLD OUT We are proud to offer our 2011 Mudd West Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious, dry, expressive, bright, flavorful, jewel-like white wine. Sauvignon Blanc has always been important in our portfolio and is becoming more and more important in general on the East End of Long Island. As many of you know we love to celebrate place. In the broadest sense we celebrate the entire East End in blended wines like Vino Bianco and Pinot Grigio that carry a Long Island AVA and come from fruit sourced from both forks. More specifically we celebrate the individual forks in blended wines from various vineyards like Rosso Fresco and MUDD which carry a North Fork of Long Island AVA. Then the most specific celebration of place comes in wines from single vineyards or single plots/blocks within in a vineyard. Sylvanus, Mosaico, and this Sauvignon Blanc represent this kind of individual place expression. Our 2011 Mudd West Sauvignon Blanc has persistent deliciousness. It is fresh, unoaked and offers clarity and purity of Sauvignon Blanc fruit. This wine was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. It did not go through malo-lactic fermentation. There is pronounced intensity of aromas and flavors, long length, complexity of fruit character and wonderful balance of crisp acidity, medium body, balanced alcohol, fine texture and fruit expression. The Mudd West Vineyard is in Hallockville (Aquebogue) and is a warm, dry site. The soil is predominately Riverhead Sandy Loam. The Mudd West Vineyard was planted in 2005 making the vines 7 years old. The Mudd West bottling emphasizes the classic nature of Sauvignon Blanc with aromas and flavors of cut grass and hay, herbs, lime, lots of white grapefruit and minerals. This wine is delicious, racy and fun. Our 2011 Mudd West Sauvignon Blanc will pair wonderfully with anything from the raw bar as well as white-fleshed fish dishes, asparagus and other spring vegetables, ceviches, citrus grilled chicken and fresh sheep and goat’s milk cheeses. 1208 cases made. Return to Menu $20   QTY 2010 Pinot Grigio We are thrilled by the wines from the 2010 vintage as they are a wonderful reflection of our place, the East End of Long Island, and the historic warm, dry, early harvest. Our 2010 Pinot Grigio is alive with aromas and flavors of pears, white flowers, minerals, spice and what is becoming a tell-tale note in our whites; a salty, chalky minerality. This lovely dry white wine is clean, alluring and focused with lots of personality and a silken mouthfeel. We have often said that Pinot Grigio gets a bad wrap from the thin, dilute industrial examples and we are proud to enlighten the naysayers with a Pinot Grigio of superior character. For our 2010 version all the fruit was hand–harvested, whole-cluster pressed, fermented in both stainless steel barrels (53%) and older French and Slovenian oak barrels (47%). The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity (after eleven months on its lees) in August 2011. Comprised of 88% Pinot Grigio and 12 % Chardonnay the wine possesses medium-plus body, moderate alcohol, medium acidity and a long juicy, satisfying finish. The 2010 Pinot Grigio features fruit from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and from the Mudd West vineyard on the North Fork, hence the blended Long Island AVA. We are quite proud of our Pinot Grigio and encourage you to drink it with local fish and shellfish (especially fried), sheep’s milk cheeses, zucchini frittatas, light chicken dishes, pastas and charcuterie. We made 1160 cases of this wonderful wine and suggest taking advantage of the real and very attractive quality/value ratio. Return to Menu $20   QTY 2010 Tocai Friulano Not only are we the only producer growing and making Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, and one of only a handful in the United States, we are among the rare few who get to work with grapes grown in two distinct Tocai vineyards. Sometimes we bottle and release two different vineyard-designated bottlings and sometimes, as we did in 2010, we blend the fruit from the Sylvanus Vineyard on the South Fork and the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork and offer one Tocai Friulano with a Long Island AVA. It is all about making the best wine possible as simply as we can that is delicious and reflective of the grape, our place and the particular vintage. Our 2010 Tocai Friulano was fermented and raised in 40% stainless steel barrels and 60% older French and Slovenian oak barrels for eleven months. This white grape is native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Northeast Italy and our version offers wonderful aromas and flavors of peaches, marzipan, minerals, lemon custard, fresh almonds, white flowers, spice and a salty tang. The warm dry 2010 vintage also has produced some almost tropical aromas and flavors…notes of pineapple has even been detected. The wine is dry and possesses medium body, moderate alcohol (12.4%), juicy acidity and great persistence on a long, clean, flavorful finish. Our Tocai has great mouthfeel and manages the very gratifying textural paradox of a light, fresh, aromatic wine with a weighty, fleshy, fluidity that is just delightful. As always, all the fruit was hand-harvested, whole cluster-pressed and handled minimally. Our 2010 Tocai Friulano was bottled by gravity on July 22nd, 2011. This is the quintessential prosciutto wine and also works well with other salumi and fresh cheeses, fricos, pastas and risotto, clams and white fleshed fish dishes. We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. Enjoy our Tocai during is vibrant youth over the next one to three years. 558 cases produced. Return to Menu $24   QTY 2009 Sauvignon SOLD OUT This is a delicious, distinctive Sauvignon Blanc for all seasons. This jewel like white wine was created from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes hand-harvested from the Croteau Vineyard on the North Fork. All the fruit was whole-cluster pressed and the juice and wine handled minimally throughout its life. The wine was barrel-fermented and raised in 82% new French and Slovenian oak and 18% stainless steel barrels for ten months. This is a refined white wine of medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long, persistent, tangy finish. There are aromas and flavors of lemon, musk melon, pears, opal basil, lemon thyme, brown spice and a touch of vanilla. There is a strong core of salty minerality and piercing flavors of candied grapefruit. All in all, this is an exciting, tasty, integrated Sauvignon that is just a pleasure to smell and taste. Match this wine with all the local seafood, herbed pasta dishes, poultry, fondue, smoked salmon or trout as well as other fish dishes with green sauces like cress or sorrel. Only 118 cases produced. 6 bottle max per customer. Return to Menu $24   2009 Vino Bianco SOLD OUT Our Vino Bianco is a delicious white blend. This wine celebrates the East End of Long Island and has since its first vintage in 2001. Likely the first “white blend” in the region, it has inspired a slew of new blends from other producers creating a category in which our Long Island region excels. Our 2009 Vino Bianco is made from 32% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Chardonnay (“Musque” clone), 24% Pinot Grigio and 16% Tocai Friulano. The wine is alive with aromas and flavors of white flowers, fuji apples, white peaches, marcona almonds, pears, spice and the sea. It is juicy and texturally satisfying, succulent, complex and long. We believe in blending because often it creates more complex, complete and ultimately delicious wines. This is demonstrated by the versatility of the wine at the table. Able to pair with shellfish and fish dishes as well as feel comfortable with poultry, veal (vitello tonnato) and even pork, our 2009 Vino Bianco offers a wealth of opportunities, tastes and textures. For this wine all the varieties were harvested and vinified separately and then blended together. The musque chard was fermented with ambient/wild yeast in a new French oak puncheon. The Tocai, Pinot Grigio and the Sauvignon Blanc were all fermented and raised in Stainless Steel barrels. The wine spent ten months on its lees and a slim 188 cases were bottled by gravity. Return to Menu $20   QTY 2010 Mosaico We are thrilled to release the next vintage of our delicious white wine Mosaico. Mosaico is an exotic field blend that comes from a complanted block in our Sylvanus vineyard on our estate in Bridgehampton. Our 2010 Mosaico was fermented with naturally occurring ambient yeast and is comprised of 32% Pinot Grigio, 29% Chardonnay, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Muscat Ottonel, 7% Tocai Friulano and 8% Gewurztraminer. This is a dry white wine where all the varieties were grown, harvested, pressed and fermented together in a stainless steel tank (86%) and a new French oak puncheon (14%). All the fruit was hand-picked and whole cluster-pressed, except for the Muscat and Gewurztraminer which were fermented on their skins and blended back in. This is a texturally delicious and aromatically unique white wine. The flavors and aromas are complex and deep and range from citrus fruit (lemon), tree fruit (pears), stone fruit (peaches, apricots), and tropical fruit (mango, lychee)…in addition there are beautiful notes of flowers, honey and brown spice. The wine is medium plus in body, the alcohol and acidity are balanced and the finish is long, clean, persistent and delicious. The 2010 Mosaico spent a year on its lees and was bottled by gravity on September 13, 2011.Try this wine with all manner of fish and shellfish dishes as well as vegetables and white meats that incorporate exotic and/or aromatic seasoning and spices. We bottled 320 cases of the 2010 vintage and filled 40 kegs. Return to Menu $29   QTY 2011 Scuttlehole Chardonnay We love Chardonnay! Often we crave a pure, clean style that celebrates the fruit of our region and is very versatile at the table. Our 2011 Scuttlehole Chardonnay certainly fits the bill. This is a captivating and salivatingly delicious 100% Chardonnay. This wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with no malo-lactic fermentation resulting in a dry wine with flavors and aromas of minerals, apples, pears, citrus fruit and lemon curd. This fresh, unoaked wine is medium-bodied with balanced acidity and alcohol. The wine is wonderfully juicy with the textural interplay of both linearity and roundness that provides great pleasure and interest. There is a creaminess that is unmistakably Chardonnay. As always the fruit for this wine was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, handled minimally and bottled by gravity. The Chardonnay (from the classic Dijon clones) was harvested from vineyards on both the North and South forks, thus the Long Island AVA. Our Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues to be a favorite restaurant by-the-glass pour due to its unbelievable versatility in food pairing and it continues the tradition of boundless pairing potential at the table. Comfortable with either complimentary or contrasting flavors, try this wine with crisp, briny shellfish or oily bluefish and wild salmon; fresh cheeses, a citrus roast chicken or a fresh salad with duck confit. We encourage you to experiment with our Scuttlehole Chardonnay as it is so adaptable, versatile and delicious. Drink now through the next 1-3 years. 1088 cases produced. Return to Menu $18   2008 Cuvee Tropical SOLD OUT Our 2008 Cuvee Tropical is alive with peaches, green melon, apples, minerals, white flowers, tropical fruits like pineapple and that undeniable, alluring grape scent from the Muscat. This straw-colored white wine is bone-dry, medium-bodied with moderate alcohol and has a juicy acid balance. The wine is comprised of 92% Chardonnay and 8% Muscat. The Chardonnay is the special musque clone from the Mudd vineyard and was fermented in stainless steel tanks.

This is a delightful, gregariously aromatic, satisfying, jewel-like white wine. The 2008 Cuvee Tropical is ideal as an aperitif or as a match with mildly spicy foods and Pacific Rim flavors. The Cuvee is also at home with shellfish, white-fleshed fish and fresh cheeses. Our Cuvee Tropical is always comfortable with a variety of world cuisines from Japanese to Indian to Mexican to Caribbean to Spanish and back to American, so we encourage experimentation. Return to Menu $18   QTY 2011 Brick Kiln Chardonnay Restraint…Elegance…Finesse. These are the words that consistently spring to mind after smelling and tasting a new vintage of Brick Kiln Chardonnay. Deliciousness and reflection of place are what we seek, and they continue to find a home in this graceful white wine. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes that were hand-picked from our Brick Kiln Vineyard in Bridgehampton this beautiful white wine was whole cluster-pressed then fermented and raised in eight old hogsheads (300L oak barrels) for fourteen months. The resulting wine is straw-colored with green and gold inflections and is bone dry, medium-bodied, possesses moderate alcohol and juicy, balanced acidity. There are gorgeous aromas and flavors of pears, baked apples, freshly sliced brioche, cream, lemon curd, brown spice and a saline minerality. Very tasty now, this wine is tight and young; unfolding in the glass slowly and with complexity that suggests it will develop for three or four years and drink well for at least five or more. Match this wine with salmon, arctic char, lobster pasta, smoked trout, ham, roast chicken, mushroom risotto or winter squash. Our 2011 Brick Kiln has a long, round, juicy finish that is persistent with pleasure. It is wonderful to have white wine that offers richness and satisfaction in the cold weather and which still offers a lightness of being and keeps you coming back for more. Our 2011 Brick Kiln was bottled by gravity on December 7th 2012, and only 258 cases were made. Return to Menu $22   2010 Clones SOLD OUT Clones is a barrel-fermented chardonnay with a skin-fermented twist! Our 2010 Clones is alluring and sexy. Clones is an exotic white blend that is based primarily on ten distinct clones of Chardonnay and also includes three other grape varieties. The 2010 version is composed of 89% Chardonnay, 8% Gewurztraminer, 2% Tocai Friulano and 1% Pinot Grigio. This dry white wine is light gold in color with medium intense aromas and flavors of poached pear, toasted apple, minerals, brown spices, lemon glaze, honey, brioche and white flowers. Our 2010 “Clones” is medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and long, persistent flavorful finish. The wine was fermented and raised in Slovenian and French oak (7 hogsheads and 3 barrels) of which 11% were new and 89% were neutral. All of the wine was fermented with ambient/wild yeast and went through a “natural” secondary or malo-lactic fermentation. The oak integration (17 months in barrel) in our 2010 Clones is wonderful and the balance of fruit, acid, alcohol and oak coupled with the finesse and paradoxical texture of richness and roundness with a precise and angular mouthfeel, make this a truly excellent bottle of Chardonnay. The finish is long, complex and persistent. The fruit for the wine was all hand-harvested and the Chardonnay was whole cluster-pressed while the gewurz, tocai and pinot grigio were fermented on their skins and then blended back into the Chardonnay lot. The juice and wine were handled minimally and the wine was bottled by gravity on February 27th, 2012. While irresistible now our 2010 “Clones” will improve for two or three years in the bottle and drink well for at least five years. Pair this tasty white with a roast chicken, smoked trout, crispy skin wild salmon or char, sautéed scallops, local monkish, mushroom risotto or a clam pie. 298 cases produced. Return to Menu $29   QTY 2010 L'Enfant Sauvage Chardonnay L’Enfant Sauvage is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes hand-harvested from our Brick Kiln and Sculpture Garden vineyards here in Bridgehampton. The grapes are gently whole cluster pressed, the juice settled overnight, and then all new French and Slovenian oak barrels are filled to the top with the juice. The ambient/wild/spontaneous (whatever you want to call them) yeast kick in, and the wine ferments. The secondary malo-lactic fermentation also happens spontaneously and we leave the wine on its lees until blending and bottling. In the past L’Enfant has spent 13-14 months in oak….beginning with the 2008 and again in 2009 the wine spent 18 months in barrel and now in the 2010 vintage our L’Enfant has had 20 months to make those barrels home. This way the wine has a chance to live through two winters in barrel and as the Burgundians’ say “then able to stand on its own two feet”. So, how is the wine? Delicious, rich, elegant, satisfying, juicy and complex! Our 2010 L’Enfant Sauvage is a beautiful clear gold color and possesses clean, youthful flavors and aromas of golden apples, lemon curd, pears, just baked brioche, pineapple, brown baking spices and salty minerals . The wine is dry, full bodied has balanced acidity and alcohol…and a long, complex persistent finish. The aromas and flavors are fairly intense and long-lasting yet there is restraint, elegance and finesse enrobed in the rich, barrel-fermented style. The wine is just plain yummy and easily competes with similar styled wines from the big names from California and Burgundy! One of the very rewarding aspects of L’Enfant is how approachable it is in its youth yet it really is a wine meant for 5-10 years of aging in bottle. It is thrilling to see the wine develop beautifully and still offer remarkable freshness, aliveness and potential for further development at six or eight or ten years of age. As always L’Enfant is a great match for lobster, scallops, truffles, roast chicken, goose, wild salmon, artic char and mushroom dishes. On May 23rd, 2012 a mere 204 cases were bottled by gravity. Return to Menu $35   QTY 2011 Ramato Ramato is a special skin-fermented white wine, or what many are now calling “orange” wines. Ramato refers to the old Friulian-style of fermenting Pinot Grigio on its skins, thus creating a coppery-colored wine. All the Pinot Grigio fruit (from both our home farm and the Mudd West vineyard on the North Fork) for our Ramato was hand-picked, handled minimally, fermented on its skins in small bins (for 13 days) and raised in older French and Slovenian oak for eight months. Not only is the wine exciting, inviting and delicious to smell and taste but our Ramato possesses and absolutely gorgeous color to admire….somewhere between deep electric orange and copper. There are aromas and flavors of peach skin, honey, Christmas spices, dried apricots, pear skin, tropical citrus, baked apples, birch, coriander and yellow plum. The wine has balanced acidity, only 11.2% 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. Pair our Ramato with hard cheeses, charcuterie, fish, chicken and pork preparations that include spices, nuts, grains or squash. Exotic, lightly spiced and earthy foods will work marvelously with this wine. Our 2011 Ramato will also 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 unusual wine that yearns to be seen, smelled and tasted. 420 cases made. Return to Menu $24   QTY 2009 Meditazione Meditazione is an exotic, non-traditional white skin-fermented blend inspired by the “Vino da Meditazione” wines in the Friuli region of Northeast Italy. This is our sixth vintage of this wine and we are thrilled that the following for our Meditazione by consumers, the press and sommeliers has soared. This is a style of wine that is ancient yet only recently revived and touted in the wine world as the “orange” wine movement. Indeed the color of these wines is darker than other whites due to the skin maceration. Ours has a beautiful rich, dark golden orange hue. Our 2009 Meditazione is comprised of 27% Sauvignon Blanc, 6% Chardonnay, 1% Malvasia, 38% Muscat Ottonel, 26% Pinot Bianco and 2% Pinot Grigio. All the fruit for our Meditazione was hand-harvested from our estate in Bridgehampton and the Mudd West and Research vineyards on the North Fork. The fruit was de-stemmed and the grapes were fermented together on their skins for thirty days in one-ton open top fermenters. Raised in 100% new Slovenian oak hogsheads and a barrique for 18 months, this is a textured, aromatic and delicious white wine that appeals to both the senses and the intellect. Our 2009 Meditazione is dry, medium-plus in body, on the low side of moderate alcohol (11.8%) and possesses juicy acidity. The flavors and aromas are exotic, concentrated, penetrating and complex. They remind one of chamomile tea, citrus and apple blossoms, fresh and dried apricots, pear skin, brown spice, nuts, peach and honey. The fruit spectrum runs the gamut from citrus to tropical! This rich wine has sex appeal and a long persistent finish. Drink our 2009 Meditazione with game birds (squab, quail), pork belly, sausages, aged alpine cheeses and fish dishes containing nuts, seeds or squash. It will also be excellent with veal Marsala and items with sherry sauces. Do not over chill this wine as it will mute the flavors and try thinking about it more in the context of a red wine which may just open up a new drinking universe. 86 cases were produced. 6 bottle max per customer. Return to Menu $40   QTY 2010 Envelope It’s Electric. The color, the aromas, the flavors, the textures all seem to pulse with vitality.

A white wine with color…a white made like a red…a white with tannin and structure…an orange wine…a full-bodied, broad wine with just 12.26% alcohol…a cleansing, juicy quality with full malo-lactic and just 5.5 grams of acid. This is fantastic stuff! Our 2010 Envelope is an intriguingly aromatic and intoxicatingly delicious white wine. The flavors and aromas are reflective of apricots, peaches, honey, roses, lychees, brown spice, apple compote, minerals, butterscotch and dried papaya. This is nuts, yes there are those flavors too in this complex, inviting wine. Made from 52% Chardonnay, 38% Malvasia Bianca and 10% Gewurztraminer this is a dry, full-bodied white that has a gorgeous deep golden orange appearance. This is a balanced, long wine that would be delicious with corn, squash, smoked ham, duck and figs, quince paste and cheese, seeds, root vegetables and caramelized flavors. All the fruit was hand-harvested from our home farm in Bridgehampton and was gently de-stemmed, crushed by foot and fermented on its skins. The wine was all co-fermented (all wild with ambient yeast) for 12 days on its skins after which the wine was bucketed out and pressed off then put 78% new oak and 22% two year old oak where the wine spent 20 months before it was bottled by gravity on May 24th, 2012.

Pair with pork, veal, poultry, game, cured meats, fatty fish, alpine cheeses. All seven of the rosati were made from hand-harvested fruit that was whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. All of the rosati are dry, balanced and delicious and the color comes only from the 3-4 hours in the press. This is red fruit selected specially for pink wine production that is processed like we were making white wine. Each wine offers a different appearance, aroma, flavor and texture experience. We hope you have as much fun exploring these wines as we have had making and consuming them! 88 cases made. Return to Menu $20   QTY 2010 Rosso Fresco Delish! This is the first word we wrote down when writing the notes about our new 2010 vintage of Rosso Fresco. Rosso Fresco is an easy-going red blend whose varieties and proportions change with each vintage. The 2010 version is comprised of 41% Dornfelder, 23% Petit Verdot, 16% Syrah, 8% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Blaufrankisch. There are aromas and flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, black cherry, black plum, black current, spice and earth. This dry red wine is medium bodied, has moderate 12.4% alcohol, balanced acid, very soft, silky tannins and a juicy persistent finish. Rosso Fresco is a playful, full-flavored, fun, friendly red wine that pairs well with pastas and just about any fish, fowl or four-legged food you serve with it. The 2010 Rosso Fresco has a North Fork of Long Island AVA and is made from hand-harvested grapes from the Mudd and Mudd West vineyards which were de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. The wine spent eight months in mostly older oak barrels (8% was new oak) and three more months in stainless steel. Our 2010 Rosso Fresco is a very versatile red wine and will bring you year round pleasure. The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on August 12, 2011. Enjoy our 2010 Rosso Fresco at cellar temperature over the next two to three years. We bottled 288 cases of this yummy wine. Return to Menu $20   QTY 2010 Due Uve Oh boy…fun, fun! Due Uve engenders fresh excitement, and from 2010 which is just a fabulous red wine vintage to boot. Here is a new vintage, a new blend (more Syrah), and a new delicious experience. Our 2010 Due Uve (two grapes) is a blend of 84% Syrah and 16% Merlot. The Syrah comes from the Mudd West vineyard in Hallocksville and the Merlot comes from Sam’s Vineyard in Aquebogue. All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed into one ton bins, stomped on by foot, punched down by hand and fermented with naturally occurring wild yeast. After primary fermentation the wine was racked to all old neutral barrels, where it spent sixteen months before being gravity bottled without fining or filtration. Our 2010 Due Uve is a ruby red color with purple inflections. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, and juicy, has moderate alcohol (12.2%) and is fresh and delicious. There are floral, fruit, mineral and spice components to the flavor and aroma profile. Violets, blueberry, black raspberry, blackberry, black cherry, wet stone, cocoa, cinnamon and just a touch of black pepper are the descriptors that come to mind, but more often than not you smell and taste something new each time you re-visit the glass. This wine possesses lightness and elegance but is robust and deep enough to tackle some exotic flavor experiences. Try with soy and teriyaki flavors as well as more classic preparations of fish, poultry, grain, pork, and veal and pasta dishes. Due Uve is very attractive, very approachable and very versatile. This is an uber-delicious wine to enjoy in its vibrant youth and over the next 4-5 years on top of being priced and styled to enjoy everyday with great satisfaction. 588 cases were bottled in 2010 and we also filled 70 kegs. Return to Menu $22   2010 Blaufränkisch - Sylvanus Vineyard SOLD OUT Over the years this variety has proven its affinity with our climate and we love to use it both as a blending grape and as a varietal bottling. Our 2010 Sylvanus Vineyard Blaufränkisch is comprised of 80% Blaufränkisch and 20% Dornfelder. We feel Dornfelder is a great match as a blending grape with its darker color, and briary, bramble and spice fruit character. The 2010 wine has a dark ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and a translucent core. The aromas and flavors are full of lilacs, iris’, raspberries, black raspberries, plums, boysenberries, violets, brown spice and black pepper. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. These Blaufränkisch grapes were simply picked, placed in bins and the wine completed fermentation with ambient yeast. The alcohol is on the light side of moderate at only 11.6%, the acids juicy and balanced, the tannins are present but soft, and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from our Sylvanus vineyard here in Bridgehampton on the South Fork, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one ton bins. The wine spent 16 months in five hogsheads and three puncheons of old French and Slovenian oak. The wine was bottled by gravity without fining or filtration on February 14th, 2012. Our 2010 Blaufränkisch Sylvanus Vineyard is a great match with venison, pork roasts, meatballs, duck, game birds, veal chops, hard mountain and washed rind cheeses as well as earthy grain and squash based dishes. This wine would also be a great choice for richer fish preparations. 328 cases produced. Return to Menu $27   2010 Blaufränkisch - Mudd West Vineyard SOLD OUT We are always very happy to release a new vintage of our lovely Blaufrankisch. Over the years this variety has proven its affinity with our climate and we love to use it both as a blending grape and as a varietal bottling. Our 2010 version is comprised of 75% Blaufrankisch and 25% Dornfelder. We feel the Dornfelder is a great match as a blending grape with its darker color, briary, bramble and spice fruit character. The 2010 wine has a dark ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and an opaque core. The aromas and flavors are full of black raspberry, black plum, blackberry, lavender, violet, a resin-like savory spice and a touch of smoked meat. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. These beautiful grapes were picked, put in bins and fermented with ambient yeast. The alcohol is moderate (12.8%), the acids juicy and balanced; the tannins are present but soft and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from the Mudd West vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one ton bins. The wine spent 16 months in old Slovenian hogsheads and a puncheon. The wine was bottled by gravity without fining or filtration on January 12, 2012. Our 2010 Blaufrankisch Mudd West is a great match with wild game, venison, pork roasts, lamb burgers, beef stew, mushrooms, hoisin, and would be delicious with pappardelle and wild boar ragu or any salted, cured porcine product! 108 cases produced. $27 a bottle. 6 bottle max per customer. Return to Menu $27   2010 Lagrein SOLD OUT Long Island Lagrein…delicious, singular, expressive and downright super-cool! This is our second vintage bottled of our Lagrein as a red wine and we are thrilled with the results of our planting and we want more. This is a bit off the beaten-track for the East End as we are the only ones growing and making wine from this great black grape variety that hails originally from the Alto Adige in Northeast Italy. Our 2010 version has a deep purple almost opaque color with clean, youthful, sexy aromas and flavors of blue and black fruit (blueberries and black raspberries), along with black pepper and brown spices, purple flowers (iris and violets), cocoa, dark chocolate, stone, mineral and an alluring exotic resin reminiscent of pine or garigue. This is seriously distinctive stuff. It is a satisfyingly rich, deep red wine with an uplifting elegance and lightness of being likely due to the juicy acidity and the wine’s medium body and moderate 12.5% alcohol. As always, this vintage of Lagrein saw the grapes hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand…old-school! The wine then spent 6 months in 20% new French oak and then another 8 months in old/neutral oak where it stayed without movement until we racked and bottled the wine without fining or filtration on January 13th, 2012. Only 108 cases (an improvement over the 29 cases in 2009) of this divine Lagrein were bottled, so don’t sit around if you want to take possession of your allocation! This is tasty now but is young and linear and will develop well in the bottle for at least 4-5 years and will drink beautifully for at least 8 years. Pair this dynamic red wine with rich & savory stews and braises, grain and rice dishes like farro, spelt, risotto and lentils, especially with mushrooms and meats (pork!!). This would also be fantastic with cured items like speck and lardo either on a charcuterie board or even atop some crispy flatbread or pizza. 6 bottle max per customer. Return to Menu $30   QTY 2009 Sculpture Garden This is the first year that our Sculpture Garden is grown and produced as a true field blend. This beautiful ruby-red wine consists of 91% Merlot, 6% Teroldego and 3% Blaufränkisch. All the varieties were grown together in our Sculpture Garden vineyard (the oldest on the South Fork, planted in 1982), picked together and fermented together. All the fruit was hand-harvested, de-stemmed but not crushed, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. The wine went through a natural malo-lactic fermentation and was raised in 55% French and 45% Slovenian oak barrels for 18 months. 27% percent of the oak used was new the remaining seventy-three percent were older/neutral barrels. The wine was handled minimally (only racked once) and was bottled by gravity with no fining or filtration on May 19th, 2011. The wine may throw sediment over time and we recommend decanting after several years in the bottle. While delicious now this wine will improve for six-eight years and drink wonderfully for a decade. Our 2009 Sculpture Garden smells of sweet fruit and is awash in aromas and flavors of black raspberry, black plum, black cherry, black liquorice in addition to coffee/toffee notes. There is an underlying earthy minerality and touch of smoke, bacon and brown spice in this seductive and complex red wine. The wine is dry and retains a medium body, moderate alcohol and balanced acidity. The wine reflects the moderate 2009 growing season with ripe fruit coupled with restraint and juicy acidity which beautifully expresses our maritime climate with its savory rather than sweet palate and elegance that is alluring. There is always a silky, smooth, supple quality to our Sculpture Garden and the great length is complemented by a textural, aromatic and flavor complexity. When feeling more formal pair this wine with Long Island duck, lamb chops or a prime rib roast and when you’re in a more casual mood match with pastas, burgers and grilled fatty fish. And just in case you need an extra nudge to pick up a bit more…This past January the New York Times had an article about five reds from the East End and Mr. Goldberg stated… “My favorite, by a tiny margin, was the smoky, somber and spicy 2009 Sculpture Garden red table wine ($30) from Channing Daughters Winery in Bridgehampton, which has a penchant for experimentation. Predominantly merlot, this provocative, nuanced blend incorporates small quantities of teroldego, a grape prominent in the Trentino region of northeastern Italy, and blaufränkisch, a native variety popular in Austria.” 1 case max per customer. 258 cases produced. Return to Menu $30   QTY 2007 MUDD The 2007 Vintage, along with 2005 and now 2010, is considered one of the best growing seasons for ripening red grapes on the East End of Long Island, ever. We believe our 2007 MUDD is a scrumptious reflection of that great 2007 vintage. Not only is it delicious now, but because it is just a baby, it will improve in the bottle for at least six to eight years and drink well for a solid dozen! Our 2007 MUDD is composed of 60% Merlot, 21% Syrah, 9% Dornfelder, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Blaufrankisch. All the fruit was hand-harvested on the North Fork and de-stemmed into small one ton bins where it was stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After primary fermentation, the wine was racked to a variety of barrels, hogsheads and puncheons (42% new oak, 23% 1yr old, 16% 2yr old, 16% 3yr old and 3% 4yr old) where it spent twenty-three months before being bottled by gravity without fining or filtration on September 22nd 2009. Our 2007 MUDD is dry, medium-bodied, has moderate 12.8% alcohol, balanced acidity, soft, ripe tannins and wonderfully persistent length. The wine is complex and displays finesse and elegance in its captivating texture and expression of fruit and wood. There are aromas and flavors of black plums, cherries, brown spice, forest floor, black raspberries, black peppercorns and cocoa. Pair this graceful, satisfying red wine with a pork roast, a juicy rib-eye or a succulent rack of lamb. In addition, a mushroom risotto, braised pancetta wrapped monkfish or a cozy fire and a hunk of aged alpine cheese would do the trick quite nicely. 848 cases were bottled along with 48 magnums and 12 three-liter bottles. Return to Menu $40   2009 Research Cab SOLD OUT Research Cab is a very special wine since it is made in such small quantities. Born out of a long standing relationship with a “Research” vineyard on the North Fork we fashion a deliciously expressive wine out of what is essentially a field blend of many different varieties. Our 2009 vintage is comprised of 38% Dornfelder, 32% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Blaufrankisch, 3% Pinot Noir, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Syrah, 2% Semebat, 2% Barbera, 1% Segalin, 1% Malbec and 1% Sangiovese. All the fruit for this wine was harvested by hand, de-stemmed, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After primary fermentation the wine was racked to barrels (40% new, 40% 2year old, 20% 3year old) where it spent seventeen months. The wine was only moved (racked) once and 126 cases were bottled by gravity without fining or filtration on April 15, 2011. Beautiful clarity and a ruby red hue coupled with aromas of red and black raspberry, cherry, plum, dark bramble fruit and spice are met with an elegance of texture and a supple, smooth palate with enough underlying tannic structure and juicy acidity for the wine to develop and improve in the bottle. This is a young wine and while delicious already, will easily improve in the bottle for the next 5-7 years. Since it is hard to resist now we recommend splash decanting the wine a half hour or so before you plan on consuming it! Pair this luscious, tasty red with Long Island duck, herb crusted lamb chops, beef and pork roasts or mushroom and grain based dishes. Return to Menu $40   Over & Over-Variation 5 SOLD OUT This is a ridiculously fun, fascinating and delicious red wine! There are people in the world making red wines with a ripasso method and there are people in the world using a solera system of blending for some red wines but we know of no one, other than us, who have put both together to create a distinctive and tasty red wine. It all began with four barriques of 2004 Merlot that was taken out of barrel and re-passed over the fresh 2006 Merlot and Dornfelder fruit. The wine underwent another primary fermentation and was racked to barriques, hogsheads and puncheons where it underwent another malo-lactic fermentation. Half of the wine was taken and bottled after ten months in oak, and this was Variation One. The other half remained in barrel until the next harvest where it was re-passed over the 2007 Merlot, Syrah and Dornfelder fruit. It was all repeated and we bottled half as Variation Two. We did this again in the 2008 harvest and bottled Variation Three. This happened to Over and Over again in 2009 for Variation Four and again in the beautiful, warm, dry 2010 vintage resulting in our latest offering…Variation Five! This wine has undergone six primary and six malo-lactic fermentations and has in it memories of the 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 harvests. We WILL continue to do this over & over. Variation Five is a bit brighter with deeper, darker fruit than number four and there is a purity of red and black fruit expression coupled with an integrated oak component this year that is remarkably alluring. Violets, black raspberries, black pepper, black cherries, baking spices, earth and game are the primary descriptors that come to mind in this well-balanced, dry, medium-bodied and seamless red wine. Delicious, long complex flavors and textures fill one’s mouth and mind. The finish is persistent and shows great complexity and intermingling of both the mature secondary characteristics and its youthful attributes. This is a wine that reflects the old and the new, the North and the South, the warm and the cool and provides us with something entirely different to experience and think about. Drink this wine with all manner of game birds, fatty fish, pork, veal, grains, mushrooms and root vegetables. 230 cases produced. 1 case limit per customer. Return to Menu $36   QTY 2010 Petit Verdot We always keep our minds and mouths open to something new and delicious. We try to seize the day when presented with an opportunity to create a tasty and expressive wine. 2010 was a particularly strong vintage, especially for red wines, and afforded us the chance to produce this stunning Petit Verdot, something we have never offered as a varietal red wine before! Petit Verdot is a black grape variety most often found in the red blends of Bordeaux. Planted in small quantities around the world, it is a small-berried, thick skinned variety. Our 2010 version is comprised of 83% Petit Verdot, all from the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork, and 15% Merlot, 1% Teroldego and 1% Blaufrankisch that came from blending in two barrels of our Sculpture Garden field blend from our estate in Bridgehampton. Our 2010 Petit Verdot is a dry, spicy red wine full of black and blue fruit character. Purple flowers, minerals, black currants, blackberries and exotic spice are all there. So too is depth, purity and sex appeal. The wine is long, enticing, alluring, concentrated, textural, complex…simply delicious! There is balance of fruit character, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity, ripe tannins and integrated oak. As with all our red wines this wine was made from hand-harvested fruit that was de-stemmed, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. The wine was raised in neutral oak barrels for 17 months and racked only once. Our 2010 Petit Verdot was fermented with ambient/wild yeasts and malo-lactic was carried out naturally in barrel. It was bottled unfiltered and unfined. This wine will match fantastically with roast lamb and pork, grilled steaks, mushrooms, duck confit, squab and grain dishes. Our 2010 Petit Verdot is a baby and while approachable and delectable now the wine will continue to improve in the bottle for at least 6-8 years. 168 cases made. Return to Menu $35   QTY Pazzo Pazzo is delicious. Pazzo is an island wine. Pazzo is a fortified and madeirized wine made from the Merlot grape, the first and only on Long Island and maybe the world! This is the second bottling of our 2004 Pazzo. The first version spent five years in barrel, this version, the second coming (bottling), spent a little over seven years in barrel. For a long time we had wanted to create a wine to pair with all the activities that come after the entrée; whether that is a cheese course, or nuts or a dessert featuring chocolate or fruit or just a tipple sitting by a warm fire. Now we have just the right drink and it only took us five years to make the first bottling and 8 years to make the second! It all started with merlot fruit from the 2004 vintage that was hand-harvested and crushed by foot in small one ton bins as usual. The wine was fermented dry, then fortified to 18% alcohol (with neutral grape spirits), put in barrels and placed outside to madeirize for five years. This means the wine was subjected to the elements, the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter. The wine evaporates and is not topped up. The wine cooks, the wine oxidizes. Something magical begins to happen to the aromas and flavors, just like what happened to the Madeiras in the ballasts of ships making a trip across the equator a hundred and fifty years ago. Our Pazzo is filled with aromas and flavors of figs, caramel, orange peel, Christmas spices, raspberry liqueur, nuts and dried fruit. So when we finally decided to bottle some of this elixir, we took half of the wine (the other half remained outside for another couple years and that is this new release!) and when the merlot arrived for our rosato we pressed and settled the juice and added a bit of that sweet merlot juice to give our Pazzo just a pinch of sweetness. This was the final touch to bring the wine into that pleasure place of great balance, length and complexity. Pazzo means “mad” or “crazy” in Italian and this is our play and nod to the island of Madeira, and her wines, and the fact we are a little nuts to make a wine like this…though when you taste it you will be as happy as we are that we did. This second bottling is remarkably similar to the first with a bit more richness from continued evaporation (the Angel’s share) and a bit more depth and complexity. 228 cases (of half bottles) produced.
