Our Cabernet Sauvignon is handcrafted from small quantities of fruit sourced from Onabay Vineyards; A balanced full bodied wine with deep structure, soft tannins, and a long dry finish. The wine was hand harvested, hand sorted and wild fermented without any additives, aged in French oak for 18 months (42% new) and bottled unfiltered & unfined. This wine will age nicely in the bottle for many years to come. 100 cases produced.
2013 The Savage – 92 pts Wine Enthusiast Long Island is not typically known for Cabernet Sauvignon, but in the hands of winemaker Anthony Nappa (who also crafts excellent Cabs at Raphael), the variety shows remarkable promise. Juxtaposing heady notes of bramble and dried herb against a backdrop of luscious black currant and plum, this wild-fermented red is enticingly “savage” in style. Sharp cranberry notes and mineral tones lend edge to a lingering finish.
