2020 HEART | ARTISTS SERIES
Our 2020 Heart / Artist series Red wine is a symphonic red blend that combines the best of five grape varieties. This is made from 48% Merlot, 22% Dornfelder, 11% Refosco, 10% Syrah and 9% Petit Verdot. You can imagine the wine as a dynamic red blend bolstered by aromatic bursts of exotic red-fruited Refosco, fleshed out by briary dark Dornfelder berries, with added verve, freshness and geometry provided by the Petit Verdot and Syrah all balanced together by plump, satisfying, enveloping ripe Merlot. This is a complex and unique red wine full of deliciousness and life. The texture is plump and beguiling with cleansing acidity, moderate alcohol and a long finish. The aromas and flavors are ripe, deep, savory, pleasure-filled and range in fruit character from red to blue to black fruit and berries. The texture is silken, giving and it can be hard to put the glass down. There is a generosity coupled with raciness in this dry red wine that is quite satisfying and keeps one coming back for more.

Nico Yektai
One of a kind pieces of furniture as sculpture
Nico Yektai is a nationally exhibiting artist who makes one of a kind pieces of functional furniture from his studio outside of Sag Harbor. Each component within these pieces of furniture has its own identity. During construction these components will often push away from their neighbors in a way that calls attention to themselves. The composition is then evaluated by the artist, and other pieces are shifted or faceted to achieve balance. The energy that this sort of construction captures helps make these functional pieces of furniture seductive from afar and more engaging the closer you get. Commission work is an integral part of his involvement with furniture.
