The 2007 Sylvanus is comprised of 43% Muscat Ottonel, 44% Pinot Grigio and 13% Pinot Bianco. Sylvanus is a Vin de Terroir, also known as a field blend, where all three grape varieties are grown, harvested, pressed and fermented together. This wine is the expression and story of this particular plot of land from the 2007 vintage told through those specific grapes. 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. Sylvanus is wonderfully contradictory. It is sweetly aromatic yet bone dry. It is light and delicate in body and texture but fleshy and substantial at the same time. The wine has crisp acidity, moderate alcohol and a flavorful, persistent finish. Our 2007 version was fermented in half stainless steel barrels and half neutral French and Slovenian oak barrels. This is an aromatic, fresh and unoaked wine. Drink with a slight chill in the next year or so to take advantage of Sylvanus’ youthful qualities. Delicious as an aperitif this wine also makes a dynamite match with fresh cheeses, shellfish, light fish dishes, prosciutto and melon, frittatas and spring and summer veggies. 408 cases produced. Return to Menu $24.00   QTY 2008 MUDD Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc This bright, vibrant, fresh white wine is a clear, straw color, bone dry and awake with mouthwatering flavors and aromas. Intense juicy grapefruit, lime, green melon, mineral and white flower are the primary smells and flavors of this clean, expressive, youthful wine. There is great balance of crisp natural acidity, medium body, moderate alcohol and classic intense Sauvignon fruit character. The delicious lengthy palate provides great satisfaction. The wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks and is comprised of 97% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Musque clone Chardonnay. All of the fruit was hand-harvested from the Mudd vineyard on September 26th and 27th 2008 and was whole cluster-pressed. We gravity-bottled 1,222 cases on February 24th, 2009. Pair this ripe, alive Sauvignon Blanc with fresh goat cheese, spring peas, asparagus & eggs, spring vegetables, ramps, raw shellfish, fluke or herbed salami. We believe Long Island Sauvignon Blanc is as good as or better than SB’s from anywhere else in the world and we think this bottle is a fantastic representation. Return to Menu $20.00   QTY 2008 Pinot Grigio Our 2008 Pinot Grigio is alive with aromas and flavors of pears, white flowers, minerals and spice. This lovely dry white wine is clean, alluring and focused with lots of personality. We have often said that Pinot Grigio gets a bad wrap from the thin, dilute industrial examples and we are proud to illuminate the naysayers with a Pinot Grigio of such high quality. For our 2008 version all the fruit was hand–harvested, whole cluster-pressed, fermented in both stainless steel barrels (75%) and older French and Slovenian oak barrels (25%). The wine was handled minimally and bottled by gravity on April 23rd and 24th 2009. 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 2008 Pinot Grigio features fruit from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and some Pinot Grigio 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 and charcuterie. We made a whopping 1178 cases of this wonderful wine and suggest taking advantage of the real and very attractive quality/value ratio. Return to Menu $20.00   QTY 2007 Tocai Friulano As the sole producer of Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, we are thrilled to release the new vintage of this very special grape and wine. Our 2007 version is bone dry, medium-bodied with crisp acidity, has balanced alcohol and a persistent, satisfying finish. The color is a pale straw-lemon with some green tinges. The aromas are clean and alluring. Flavors and scents of sliced green almonds, white flowers, spice, minerals and white grapefruit including all of the pulp, pith and zest are evident in the glass and mouth. This delicious wine was created from 100% Tocai Friulano grapes that were hand-harvested here on our estate in Bridgehampton. The wine was fermented in eleven small stainless steel barrels, five older French and Slovenian oak barrels and one older French oak puncheon. This means 59% of the wine was in steel and 41% of the wine saw neutral oak. The 2007 Tocai spent three and a half months in barrels on its lees then was blended to a stainless steel tank where it spent another three and a half months before it was bottled by gravity on May 13, 2008. Tocai is the quintessential prosciutto wine and if given a choice select the Prosciutto di San Daniele that is native to Friuli-Venezia Giulia. You can also pair this wine wonderfully with fricos, stuffed squash blossoms, pasta dishes, risi e bisi (the classic pea and ham risotto) and a multitude of fish preparations. Salute! 408 cases were produced. Return to Menu $24.00   QTY 2007 Sauvignon This blended Sauvignon Blanc is inspired by the wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Made from 89% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Chardonnay this pale gold, dry white wine offers crisp, clean sensations and bursts of flavor akin to biting into a spiced lemon drop with a savory liquid center. There are complex aromas and flavors of herbs, resin, smoke, spice, minerals, citrus and tree fruits. This medium-bodied white has balanced alcohol and high acidity, and it provides a long, juicy, flavorful finish. The Sauvignon Blanc in the blend still retains much of its angular quality but is softened and rounded by the wild yeast portion, the wonderfully integrated oak component and the addition of Chardonnay. It is a Sauvignon Blanc for all seasons. Our Sauvignon is equally at home with a fluke dish containing herbs and citrus in the summer as with a cod dish utilizing mushrooms and pork in the winter. The 2007 Sauvignon was fermented in 32% stainless steel and 68% French and Slovenian oak of which 23% was new and fermented with wild yeast. The wine spent six months in barrels on its lees then was blended to a stainless tank where it spent another two months before being bottled by gravity on May 22, 2008. Play with this wine at the table and have fun discovering its versatility. See how well it goes with fresh and aged sheep or goat’s milk cheeses, raw and cooked shellfish dishes and don’t forget about eggs, chickens and the pig too! Cheers! 458 cases produced.

The 2007 version is made up of 32% Tocai Friulano, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Pinot Grigio, 9% Chardonnay (Dijon clone 96) and 17% Chardonnay (“Musque” clone). This is a symphonic white wine that offers layers of texture and flavor. Minerals, citrus fruit, tree fruit, stone fruit and tropical fruit all play off one another. There are smells and flavors of green apples, lemons, limes, white peaches, pineapple, juicy ripe pears, brown spices, and that magical white floral quality, almost like acacia blossoms. The wine is clean with pure, beautiful penetrating aromas. There is a soothing, satisfying balance of acid, moderate alcohol (12.8%), ripe fruit and sweet spice. The wine is extremely long and possesses great texture and mouthfeel. The fruit was all hand-picked from our home farm in Bridgehampton, the original Mudd Vineyard in Southold, the Smithens Vineyard and the new plantings at Mudd West on the North Fork. Some of the varieties were fermented separately, some were fermented together. Stainless steel tanks, stainless steel barrels, new and older French and Slovenian oak barriques as well as puncheons and hogsheads were all used (only 10% was new oak) and the various lots were then selected and blended. This wine displays great versatility at the table and can be paired with lighter fish and shellfish dishes or matched wonderfully with richer pastas, chicken, pork and veal preparations. The 2007 Vino Bianco was bottled by gravity on June 17th, 2008. 1208 cases were produced.

All the varieties were harvested together, pressed together and fermented together except for the Muscat. The Muscat was separated out and fermented on its skins, and after a stint in new oak, blended back in. Our 2007 Mosaico was fermented in a variety of vessels; a stainless steel tank and stainless steel barrels, two Slovenian oak barrels, two Slovenian oak hogsheads and one Slovenian oak puncheon. A total of 27% of the wine saw new oak. This wine is complex, playful and satisfying. There is great intensity of flavor and a wonderfully lengthy spicy finish.

This straw colored white wine is bone dry, medium-bodied with moderate alcohol and a juicy acid balance. The wine is comprised of 94% Chardonnay and 6% Muscat with a smidgen of Pinot Grigio. The Chardonnay is the special musque clone from the Mudd Vineyard and was fermented in stainless steel.

This is a delightful, gregariously aromatic, satisfying, jewel-like white wine. The 2007 Cuvee Tropical is ideal as an aperitif or as a match with mildly spicy foods and Pacific Rim flavors.

Return to Menu $40.00   Over & Over-Variation 2 SOLD OUT This is a ridiculously fun 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 this original 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 have done it again this harvest and it will go on Over & Over. So what does it taste like? Violets, black raspberries, plums, spice and game are the first descriptors that come to mind in this well-balanced, dry, medium-bodied and integrated red wine. Delicious, long complex flavors and textures fill one’s mouth and mind. 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, pork, veal, grains, mushrooms, tubers and root vegetables. Salute! 188 cases produced. Return to Menu $35.00
