This is the eleventh year that our Sculpture Garden is grown and produced as a true red field blend. This beautiful light ruby-red colored 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 & 1987), picked together and fermented wild/ambiently 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 older French oak barrels for 24 months. The wine was handled minimally (only racked once) and was bottled on November 17th, 2021. The wine may throw sediment over time and we would recommend decanting after several years in the bottle. The wine is delicious now and has even started to show some secondary aromas but will still improve in the bottle wonderfully for another 4-8 years and drink well for a decade plus. Our 2019 Sculpture Garden smells of red and black fruit and is awash in aromas and fruit flavors of black raspberry, red plum, red cherry and briary boysenberry in addition to some smoke, brown baking spice notes and cedar chest. There is an underlying beautifully inviting tar resin and tobacco leaf quality in this seductive and complex red wine. The wine is dry and retains a medium-body, moderate alcohol and balanced acidity. Our 2019 Sculpture Garden displays ripe fruit coupled with juicy acidity and youthful tension 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, whose qualities truly improve with age (really, try this wine a decade out)! 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 rich meaty pastas, burgers and grilled fatty fish. Just 368 cases produced.

Our Dorn & Blau is a wine we have only made five times before and the last vintage was 2019! When presented with lots of beautiful Blaufrankisch and Dornfelder grapes we love to make this delicious and unique red wine (not to mention the blend is just plain delicious). Over the years these varieties have proven their affinity for each other and for our climate and we love to blend them together. Our 2022 Dorn & Blau is comprised of 67% Dornfelder and 33% Blaufrankisch. We feel the Dornfelder and Blaufrankisch are a great match and together highlight the darker colors, briary, bramble, game meat and spiced fruit character of these two grapes. This 2022 wine has a dark purple-ruby colored rim with purple inflections and a translucent core. The aromas and flavors are full of black raspberry, black plum, blackberry, lavender, violet, and a resiny savory spice. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with silky texture and great concentration. The alcohol is moderate, 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 and the Mudd West vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork, hence the Long Island AVA. The fruit for this wine was de-stemmed, crushed by foot, fermented wild and punched down by hand and shovel in small one-ton bins. The wine spent about a year in old French oak barrels and hogsheads. Our 2022 Dorn & Blau is a great match with wild game (flying or four-legged), venison, pork roasts, lamb burgers, sausages (especially merguez or chorizo), short ribs, truffle cheeses, hoisin and teriyaki. It would also be delicious with pappardelle and wild boar ragu or any salted, cured porcine product! This wine is still youthful and while quite delicious now, it will also benefit from additional cellaring for another 5-8 years. Enjoy! 168 cases produced. First come first served to the few bottles we have remaining.

Research Cab is a very special wine to which only our Wine Club members have exclusive access 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 red wine out of what is essentially a field blend of many different varieties. Our 2021 vintage is comprised of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Saperavi, 5% Blaufrankisch, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Sangiovese, 1% Barbera, 1% Malbec and 1% Dornfelder. All the fruit for this wine was harvested by hand, de-stemmed, stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After an ambient/wild primary fermentation, the wine was racked to all older neutral French oak barrels where it spent a bit over two years maturing. The wine was only moved (racked) once and a mere 168 cases were bottled. Beautiful clarity and a translucent ruby core coupled with inviting aromas of red and black raspberry, black cherry, black plum, dark bramble fruit, spice, purple flowers, earth, resin and wet stone are met with an elegance of texture and a supple, smooth silky 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 8-10 years. Since it is hard to resist now, we recommend splash decanting the wine 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. But there isn't much 2021 Research Cab to go around and it is tasty...after we send our beloved wine club a bottle each, we only have a few cases left. So first come first serve for those precious bottles remaining of our dynamite 2021 Research Cab!
