Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
From one of the oldest vineyards on Long Island, the 2002 Mudd Merlot is supple, fleshy and fruity. This is a medium-bodied, soft, plummy and satisfying red wine. The fruit for this wine was hand harvested, just under two tons per acre, and destemmed but not crushed. The whole berries were placed in one-ton open-top fermenters and punched down by hand and feet for an 8 day period. The wine aged in French oak barrels for 12 months without movement when finally the Mudd Merlot was delicately racked out of the barrels into a bottling tank and bottled without fining or filtration. This wine has a beautiful texture with aromas and flavors of plums, cherries, vanilla, spice and a hint of chocolate. Stunning with Long Island duck, this wine also pairs wonderfully with all meat, fatty fish, and mushroom based dishes.
