Community Tasting Notes 5

    April 24, 2009 - My last of 5 bottles. It does not disappoint. Shinn is making some of the best LI has to offer.

    December 16, 2008 - One of the best Merlots I've enjoyed in a long time ... and it's from Long Island! It's actually a blend - 81% merlot and 19& Cabernet Franc. Lush taste with gentle tannins. Flavors of red plum fruit with aromas of chocolate, blackberry, raspberry that ended with hints of herbs, mocha, earth and vanilla.
    I decanted the bottle, which I think enhanced its immediate enjoyment.

    February 18, 2008 - This is the best this has tasted yet. Smooth, good fruit, slight oak, some tannins. Good stuff!

    July 21, 2007 - Very nice wine. Smooth and drinkable. Typical Long Island terroir did not overpower this one like happens too often. Great with food

    May 19, 2007 - Sour cherries, nice mouth coating tannins. Little hot. Good food wine.

New York Cork Report

  • By Lenn Thompson
    1/1/2009 (link)

    (Shinn Estate Vineyards Merlot Estate) Medium ruby red in the glass, the nose is youthful with fresh red cherries, plums and toasty oak aromas. On the palate, similar red fruit character is accented by subtle nutmeg and clove, and gently gripping tannins.
