Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Tocai in a light, juicy, wild style.
Definitely not our take on an American wine category made from Bordeaux grapes.
Merlot: maceration for a few days then pressed as a dark rosé.
Cabernet Sauvignon: Carbonic and semi-carbonic macerations for 10 days.
Cabernet Franc: Destemmed, 10 day maceration.
Tocai Friulano: Destemmed, 18-day maceration on skins.
Aged in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak.
Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon: Macari Vineyards (North Fork of Long Island)
Cabernet Franc: New Suns, our home vineyard (west Cayuga Lake)
Tocai Friulano: Ventosa Vineyards (east Seneca Lake)
