2022 MUDD – Long Island, AVA
Wine Club Member Exclusive through January 2025
We have made nine vintages of MUDD and the last time we made it was 2017, so we are excited to bring back this gem of a red wine! We believe the MUDD we are sending you is a scrumptious reflection of the delicious 2022 vintage. Not only is our 2022 MUDD delicious now...it is just a baby, and will improve in the bottle for at least six to eight years and drink well for a solid dozen! Our 2022 MUDD is composed of 51% Petit Verdot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Dornfelder. All the fruit was hand harvested and de-stemmed into small one-ton bins where it was stomped on by foot and punched down by hand. After primary (wild/ambient) fermentation the wine was racked to a variety of barrels, hogsheads and puncheons where it spent twenty-three months before being bottled on September 4th, 2024. Our 2022 MUDD is dry, medium-bodied, has moderate alcohol, wonderful aromas, 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, raspberries, cherries, brown spice, forest floor, black raspberries, black peppercorns, cocoa, cedar and a touch of mint. 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. This wine celebrates our long-standing partnership with Steve Mudd and the Mudd family as well as the dirt in which we grow our wine. The label is actually a drawing of our soil with the various contents noted at different depths. It's pretty cool, check it out! Cheers. Only 298 cases were bottled.
2021 Vino Bianco – Long Island AVA
Wine Club Member Exclusive through January 2025
Our Vino Bianco is a delicious, symphonic white blend. This wine celebrates both forks of the East End of Long Island and has done so 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 vibrant category in which the Long Island region excels. Our 2019 Vino Bianco is made from 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Tocai Friulano, 8% Pinot Grigio and 2% Chardonnay. The wine is alive with aromas and flavors of citrus fruit, white flowers, golden apples, lemon curd, white peaches, pears, spice, chalky minerality and the sea. The wine is juicy and texturally satisfying, succulent, complex, long and beguiling. We believe in blending because it creates 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 2019 Vino Bianco offers a wealth of opportunities, tastes and textures. For this wine, all the varieties were harvested and vinified (approximately 50% wild and 50% inoculated) separately, and then blended together. The Sauvignon Blanc, Tocai, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio were all fermented and raised in a combination of stainless steel tanks as well as a few older oak barrels and hogsheads. This wine has benefited from some resting in the bottle and is absolutely delicious now and will drink wonderfully for at least another three to four years. 388 cases produced. No limits and a seriously great value!

You can pair this one with just about anything from morning to noon, or tonight! 10% alcohol. 128 cases produced.

2019 Blaufrankisch – Mudd West Vineyard
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 2019 version is comprised of 75% Blaufrankisch and 25% Dornfelder. This 2019 Blau has a ruby-red colored rim with purple inflections and a dark opaque core. The aromas and flavors are sexy and full of boysenberry, purple flowers, black plum, black raspberry, blackberry, lavender, violet, tobacco leaf and a resiny savory spice. This is a dry, supple, sexy wine with Burgundian texture and great concentration. And all we did was pick ripe, healthy, beautiful grapes and de-stem them in a bin. The alcohol is moderate (12%), the acid is juicy and balanced; the tannins are present but soft and the wine offers a great deal of pleasure, alluring aromatics and a long delicious finish. All the fruit was hand-picked from the Mudd West Vineyard in Hallockville on the North Fork, de-stemmed, fermented wild/ambiently, crushed by foot and punched down by hand in small one-ton bins. The wine spent ten months in older oak hogsheads and barrels. Our 2019 Blaufrankisch Mudd West Vineyard is a great match with grains, game meats, pork and lamb chops, beef roasts, mushrooms, aged cheeses and veal. While irresistible now this wine will be even better with another 5-7 years more bottle aging, so pick up a few extra bottles to taste along its evolution. First come-first served. 148 cases produced.

2023 Tocai Friulano – Sylvanus Vineyard
We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! This delightful 2023 white wine is 100% Tocai Friulano from our Sylvanus Vineyard on the home farm in Bridgehampton. We are one of just a couple of producers growing and making Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, and one of only a handful in the United States. Our Tocai was harvested by hand, whole cluster-pressed, fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks on its lees for eight months. This white grape is native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Northeast Italy and our version offers wonderful aromas and flavors of green and yellow apples, white grapefruit, green almonds, minerals, talc, Asian pears and spice. Our Tocai is pale straw in color with gold/green reflections, the wine is bone dry and possesses medium-body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and great persistence on the long, flavorful finish. There is an alluring sea salt minerality that keeps you coming back for more. Our Tocai has a great mouthfeel and manages the very gratifying textural paradox of a light, fresh, aromatic wine with a weighty, fleshy, fluidity that is just delightful. This is the quintessential prosciutto wine and also works well with other hams, salumi, fresh cheeses, fricos, pastas and risotto. Also, white fleshed fish dishes and our local clams (in pasta, casino, baked, raw and on a pizza!) are a tasty match. We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. 288 cases produced.

We suggest standing bottle upright and chilling for 30 minutes prior to serving to avoid bubbling over.

2018 Research Bianco
Wow, this wine jumps out of the glass and envelops you in a whirlwind of luscious tropical and ripe stone fruit aromas! A partner in deliciousness to our Research Cab but fashioned from white fruit instead of red, this is our white-scale version which also falls in the “orange wine” category. Our 2018 Research Bianco is a skin-fermented white wine blend in which the proportions and varieties change with each vintage. A good friend supplied the grapes from a "research" vineyard on the East End. All the grapes were grown together (a field blend), hand-picked, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. Our 2018 Research Bianco is made from 46% Muscat Ottonel, 27% Gewürztraminer, 10% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Arneis, 5% Gruner Veltliner, 3% Moscato Giallo, 1% Aligoté, 1% Malvasia, 1% Pinot Grigio and 1% Tocai Friulano. This 2018 Research Bianco was raised in older oak barrels, hogsheads and puncheons for eight months. It was fermented ambiently/wild with all the varieties co-fermented and spent just over fifteen days on its skins. Our 2018 Research Bianco is a gorgeous deep golden color and is full of flavors and aromas reminiscent of grilled pineapple, ripe mango, dried apricots, poached pears, quince, and honey, butterscotch, brown spice, apple compote, burnt orange and golden raisins. The wine possesses medium-body, juicy acidity and medium-alcohol with pronounced aromatic intensity and long persistent length. There's something so heightened, so treble, so Freddie Mercury about this wine...in fact, music by Queen would be great to pair with this vino! (Along with roast chicken, grilled fish, pork chops, sausages and charcuterie boards, hard aged cheeses and fondue and friends). This wine was bottled on May 24th, 2019. There are only a few extra bottles after we send this out to our beloved wine club, so if you want a bottle or two do not wait.
2019 Sculpture Garden — The Hamptons, Long Island AVA
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.
2021 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 2021 Scuttlehole Chardonnay certainly fits the bill. This is a captivating and salivatingly delicious bright and crisp 100% Chardonnay wine. 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 moderate alcohol. The wine is wonderfully juicy with the textural interplay of both linearity and roundness that provides great pleasure and interest. There is a plump creaminess (especially this 2021 vintage), that is unmistakably Chardonnay, contrasted by refreshing acidity and salty minerality. As always, the fruit for this wine was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, and handled minimally. The Chardonnay (from the classic Dijon clones) was harvested from all our Chardonnay vineyards on the South Fork. Our Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues to be a favorite by-the-glass pour due to its terrific versatility in food pairing. This 2021 Scuttlehole Chardonnay continues that tradition of boundless pairing potential at the table. Comfortable with either complementary 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 and your favorite foods as it is so adaptable, versatile and delicious. Drink now and over through the next 3-4 years. 1288 cases produced.
2022 Ramato — Long Island AVA
Wine Club Member Exclusive through July 2024
Ramato is a special skin-fermented white wine, or what many are now calling an "orange" wine. Ramato refers to the old Friulian style of fermenting Pinot Grigio on its skins, thus creating a coppery-colored wine (in fact the Italian word “Ramato” refers to the copper color). All the Pinot Grigio fruit (from both our home farm in Bridgehampton and the Mudd West Vineyard on the North Fork) for our Ramato was hand-picked, handled minimally, fermented on its skins (with wild /ambient yeast) in small bins for nineteen days and raised in older French and Slovenian oak puncheons (large 500L barrels) for Eight months. Not only is the wine alluring and delicious to smell and taste but our Ramato possesses an absolutely gorgeous color to admire...star-bright and somewhere between electric orange and burnished copper. There are aromas and flavors of honey, brown spices, chamomile, dried apricots, pear skin, tropical citrus, earl grey tea, baked apples, caramel and peaches. The wine has balanced acidity, only 12% 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, thus the “orange”. 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 2022 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 exciting wine that yearns to be seen, smelled and tasted. Drink this wine now at cellar temp in large glasses and over the next six plus years. 888 cases produced.

2018 L'Enfant Sauvage Chardonnay
Wine Club Member Exclusive through July 2024
A new vintage of L'Enfant Sauvage is always released with great excitement. 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 oak barrels are filled to the top. The ambient/wild/spontaneous yeast kick in and the wine ferments. The secondary malo-lactic fermentation also happens spontaneously and we leave the wine on its lees with no topping until blending and bottling. This release, our 2018 L'Enfant Sauvage, spent 16 months in all new barrels, followed by another 6 months in tank! The wine is delicious, elegant, satisfying, juicy, wild and complex! The 2018 L'Enfant Sauvage is a beautiful clear gold color and possesses, piercing flavors and aromas of apples, lemon curd, pears, just-baked brioche, vanilla, pineapple, brown baking spices and salty minerals. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, has balanced acidity, moderate 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. 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 8-12 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. L'Enfant is always a great match for lobster, scallops, truffles, roast chicken, goose, wild salmon, arctic char and mushroom dishes. As we like to say, our 2018 L'Enfant Sauvage is a wine with a wild treble, a deep bass, a funky rhythm section, unforgettable melodies and beautiful harmony...don't miss the music! On August 14th, 2020 358 cases were bottled.

2023 Sauvignon Blanc — Mudd Vineyard
Our Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has become a CDW classic...a staple that gets snatched up very quickly. Our 2023 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, crisp, aromatic dry white wine that displays mineral, citrus, stone and tree-fruit flavors and aromas. This juicy white wine was fermented entirely in stainless steel and was made from the fruit of some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines on Long Island which were planted in 1975 (on their own roots!). The soil in the Mudd Vineyard is mostly the Haven Loam with some portions being Riverhead Sandy Loam. As always, all the fruit was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, and handled minimally. Our 2023 version is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. This is a dynamic wine exhibiting medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long lasting, persistent finish with beautiful subtlety and delicacy. The 2023 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, vibrant, precise and alive! It possesses flavors and aromas of white grapefruit, lime, herbs, cut grass, talc, tangy white peach, a chalky, salty minerality and even some hints of tropical fruits and white flowers. Our 2023 Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is just plain delicious and will match well with local oysters and clams, fresh chevre, charcuterie, asparagus and egg dishes as well as most white-fleshed fish. Don’t wait this year as we only made 308 cases.

80% Chardonnay 20% Muscat Ottonel (skin-fermented)
Our Bianco Pet-Nat Cuvée Tropical edition is a white blend that is bottled at the end of its wild fermentation before it is complete, trapping the carbon dioxide in the bottle resulting in a lightly sparkling or Pétillant wine. Straw yellow-colored with an extra punch of inviting aromas and flavors from the skin-fermented Muscat, this delicious sparkler leans towards tropical fruits, white flowers, melon, pineapple, tree fruits, stone fruits, yeasty bread, and salty minerals. A slight hint of sweetness balances the refreshing acidity and keeps you coming back for more sips of this super satisfying aromatic white sparkling wine. You can pair this one with just about anything from morning to noon, or tonight! 10% alcohol 120 cases produced.

2022 Dorn & Blau – The Hamptons, Long Island AVA
Wine Club Member Exclusive through May
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.
