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.

- $22
Simultaneously softer and richer than Borghese's regualr bottling, this wine shows dark berry flavors and only a touch of mint. Some smoky notes add a meatiness that further sets this wine apart.

Castello di Borghese 1998 Hargrave Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island)
- $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.

Castello di Borghese 2006 Meritage Red Table Wine (North Fork of Long Island)

Whiffs of freshly cut mint and tarragon are pleasant against a backdrop of lean red fruit on the nose and palate of this Bordeaux blend, but lurking traces of underripe fruit and tomato leaf distract.

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.
