Bravo to Long Point for making a Cabernet that counts in a cool climate. Rich aromas of anise, mocha and tobacco lead into structured, complex flavors of red berry, cigar and cassis. Spicy but balanced and slightly big, the wine will be great with grilled meat and stew.

This is a muscular Merlot. Meaty spice is balanced by cherry fruit, and the mouthfeel is smooth and rich. Big and ripe, the wine will do well when paired with bigger meat dishes.

Long Point’s Riesling starts with a fresh, vibrant fruit nose edged with citrus, and the crispness continues on the palate. The floral fruit flavors are balanced with a citric, zingy zap. Overall, a fun wine that will pair well with spicy cuisine and seafood dishes.

The nose exhibits the classic aromas of apricot interwoven with wet stones and leads to a fairly simple palate with pretty stone fruit flavors. The very crisp finish is more than a match for even the oiliest fish.

A nose of spicy oak and berry leads into flavors of dried herbs and cranberry on the palate in this New York Syrah. Lacking some dimension and staying power, it’s still recommended for its elegance.

Affordable and friendly, this refreshing wine offers strawberry jam and orange marmalade on the nose and a mineral-driven flavor profile. The fruit is overtaken by the acidity to some extent, but the wine still makes for a tasty warm weather sip.
