New York Cork Report
-
By Lenn Thompson
(NV Peconic Bay Winery Esprit de Rouge Nautique North Fork Long Island) Carries a non-vintage label (and subsequent bottlings very well may be non-vintage) but this edition is 100% 2007 fruit -- 95% merlot, 3% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc to be more precise. The ripeness of the 2007 vintage is on full display here in the ripe, dark berry and plum nose that shows hints of mint and earthy-tobacco. Made in a juicy, low-oak, easy-drinking style, it has nice core of sweet black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors, light earthy-wood notes and just a bit of that minty character. The tannins are ripe and soft and the finish is medium in length. With this new, modern style in, on and inside the bottle (which my picture doesn't do justice to), the $16 price tag (most likely $12 - 13 at most wine shops), I expect this to be a very successful line for Peconic Bay.

I'm a fan of this wine. Long Island showing a little old world style and sensibility here, and I like it. Dark and red fruits on the nose, with a good dose of barnyard hay and manure, tobacco, and some vegetal/green pepper as well. Medium-bodied on the palate, with red fruits--predominantly cherry--showing, and the tobacco and green pepper also carrying through, along with a bit of spice as well. Really solid effort here, and one I'd recommend, particularly for the around $15 price tag.

This is the wine to take to a dinner party or blind tasting to those who doubt the quality of Long Island wines. Drinking beautifully, notes of cherry and rose, excellent QPR.
