Long Island's 2007 vintage will go down as one of the greatest in the region's history, and there are few wines that capture the ripeness and richness of the fruit as elegantly as this phenomenal Bordeaux-blend from Paumanok. While this blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc could easily be mistaken for one of the Medoc's elite reds, the wine possesses a spicy herbal quality and fresh finish that are hallmarks of the best from Long Island. Aromas of crushed blueberry, black cherry, sweet smoke, and sage lead to flavors of fresh dark fruits like plum and cherry. Full-bodied throughout, the Assemblage boasts a lingering, mouth-watering finish. Enjoy this future legend alongside grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or burgers. Our favorite pairings include roast turkey with sausage stuffing or juicy rib eye steaks with crumbled blue cheese and a shallot-port reduction.
