Duck Walk

Sort By:

Duck Walk 1997 Reserve Chardonnay

Price $13

Smoky and meaty, with nut, white-peach and clove notes. Firm acidity allowed 100% barrel fermentation without the wine becoming overly soft. — J.C. (4/1/2001)

points

Duck Walk 1998 Pinot Grigio (The Hamptons, Long Island)

Price $15

Something of a misnomer, as this wine tastes more like many Alsatian Pinot Gris than the often-insipid Grigios of Italy. Honey and apricot aromas, big and buttery on the palate; the only drawback is the lack of length to the finish, possibly a function of young vines. — J.C. (4/1/2001)

points

Duck Walk 1997 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $29

Weedy, with some bell pepper and herb aromas, cassis and tobacco. Elegantly lean and graceful in the mouth, the wine ends in a long, spicy finish. You might rate it even higher if you don't mind some herbaceousness. — J.C. (4/1/2001)

points

Duck Walk 1997 Pinot Meunier (The Hamptons, Long Island)

Best Buy

Price $9

Bright, tart candied cherry aromas are dusted with saddle leather and cinnamon. Light-bodied; gets tarter on the finish, where the fruit becomes more cranberryish. — J.C. (4/1/2001)

points

Duck Walk 1998 Aphrodite Late Harvest Gewürztraminer (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $15

Shows good varietal character in its bouquet of roses, ripe pears and lychees. As far as dessert wines go, this is a lightweight, at only 6% residual sugar, but it’s certainly flavorful enough. Low acidity suggests it should be drunk over the short term. The only quibble is a shorter than expected finish. — J.C. (4/1/2001)

points

Duck Walk 1997 Reserve Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $19

Slightly creamy vanilla-oak scents vie with jammy black cherries on the nose. Cherries predominate on the medium-weight palate. Turns a bit drying on the finish, so drink with a rare steak for best results. — J.C. (4/1/2001)

points

Duck Walk 2010 Aphrodite Late Harvest Gewürztraminer (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $19

Perfumed with intense lily and gardenia notes, topped off with sweet tropical fruit and exotic spice, this late-harvest Gewürztraminer is a bit of a sensory overhaul. On the palate, honeyed sweetness is balanced by a shower of lemony acidity. — A.I. (9/1/2012)

points

Duck Walk 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $19

The leafy cassis and dried spice notes on the nose create a distinctive bouquet that is immediately attractive. Not heavily extracted, this is a Cab built for current consumption. — J.C. (4/1/2001)
