Damiani 2007 Barrel Select Merlot (Finger Lakes)
- $35
The inky purple color announces the very serious intention of this robust, fruit-focused Merlot.

Better after 2010.

Damiani 2008 Meritage (Finger Lakes)
- $27
Shades of graphite and forest floor add subtle nuance to the layers of blackbery fruit on this concentrated, elegant Meritage. Rich in flavor yet lean in profile with a bright, clean acidity, it finishes on a graham cracker and chocolate note.

Damiani 2007 Meritage (Finger Lakes)
- $27
True to the ambitious Damiani style, this wine has tightly packed fruit tones with a generous overlay of vanilla and mocha from toasty new oak. Intoxicating flavors of caramelized pineapple and boysenberry frame the dense palate while refined tannins provide a counterbalance to the dense fruit.

Damiani 2009 Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
Ripe yellow peaches and cantaloupe combine elegantly with a hint of wet stones on the nose. A nice, tart acidity, steely backbone and a bitter citrus pith finish give this off-dry Riesling structure and balance.

Damiani 2007 Merlot (Finger Lakes)
- $22
A good value for pricey Long Island, the Damiani 2007 Merlot offers up deep black fruit tones wrapped in a thick blanket of vanilla, char and coffee. Oaky, crisp and tannic, this wine will be more approachable after several years in the cellar.

Damiani 2006 Barrel Select Cabernet Sauvignon (Finger Lakes)
- $35
This wine has the kind of beefy, muscular character that one expects in a Cab, with its earthy berry and leathery spice nose, and a layering of tobacco smoke, black pepper and rich berry on the palate. Decent tannins and minerality add to the weight. A good wine with ageable appeal.

Damiani 2008 Chardonnay (Finger Lakes)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A rich and developed Chard with notes of toasted brioche, almond skins, lightly baked red apple and orange oil on the nose and mouth. Well balanced with a full but not flabby mouth, moderate acidity and a lingering finish.

Damiani 2008 Riesling (Finger Lakes)
- $16
Fresh and zesty, with wet stones and talcum powder upfront, followed by apple and gardenia in the mouth. It’s light-bodied and slightly off-dry with a short-to-medium finish redolent of white flowers. Drink now.
