Wölffer Estate Vineyard Christian's Cuvée Merlot 2019 Review
Winemaker Roman Roth has been proving for decades now that great wine can be made in the Hamptons of New York. This Merlot, made from their oldest vines, is an absolutely wonderful example of how good these wines can be. It has an almost old world nose with a leathery, Tuscan flare of earthy cranberries — but spiked with a subtle cracked black pepper aroma. The palate is excellent with a slight grip and deep, blue fruit notes. This wine is awesome.
