Castello di Borghese 2000 Hargrave Vineyard Barrel Fermented Chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island)
- $22
Toast aromas complement delicate notes of grilled nuts and ripe peaches. It’s barrel-fermented but not overly woody, instead focused on peach and citrus fruit, caressed by filberts. Nicely balanced.

- $18
What a difference from Borghese's regular chardonnay. This one is loaded with class and refinement, from the delicate aromas of light toast, pear and hazelnut through the nearly weightlesspalate that somehow carries a great deal of flavor.

Picked quite ripe, the resulting wine features mainly melon and fig aromas and flavors, with very little grassiness in evidence. Crisp acidity on the finish provides the vivacity needed to pair with oysters or clams.

Castello di Borghese 2007 Cabernet Franc (North Fork of Long Island)
- $25
While soft on entry with slightly pulpy, sweet plum flavors, this Cab Franc gains intensity on the midpalate as spicy bramble notes and soft tannins accumulate. Approachable in style, it’s a pleasant everyday red with just a hint of leafy green on the finish.
