New York Cork Report
-
By Lenn Thompson
(Lenz Winery Merlot Old Vines North Fork Long Island) Black plum and cherry aromas are accented by leather, cured meat, dried herbs and subtle brown spice on an expressive, mature nose. The palate is medium bodied with smooth, mature tannins that are well integrated across the palate framing dark fruit, leather, a little bit of that gaminess, licorice and a little earthy herbal character. The finish is long and ends with leather and spice. It is a joy to drink wines like this, that prove that the drinking window for Long Island wines is far larger than some experts would have you believe.

I was looking forward to see if this bottle was still good but sadly I have to report that it had passed some time ago and now had list all smell and taste. RiP to a great wine 🍷.

Medium to full body. Dirty earth that I really like and some dry red berry fruit on the palate. A good wine, but QPR is way out of whack.

Gorgeous vegetal aroma of red fruit. Medium body with well integrated tannins and acid.
