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

Damiani 2010 Gewürztraminer
- $19

Damiani 2007 Meritage

Damiani 2008 Meritage

Damiani 2011 Davis Vineyard Dry Riesling
- $22
Hints of savory herbs, lime skins and crushed stones balance the exuberant notes of jasmine and tropical fruit. Dry, yet delightfully fruity, it’s elegantly structured with a lemon-pith astringency that lingers.

Damiani 2007 Merlot
- $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 2009 Riesling
- $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.
