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

Duck Walk 1997 Reserve Chardonnay (Long Island)
- Best Buy
- $13
Smoky and meaty, with nut, white-peach and clove notes. Firm acidity allowed 100% barrel fermentation without the wine becoming overly soft.

Duck Walk 1997 Pinot Meunier (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- Best Buy
- $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.

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

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

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

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

Duck Walk 2010 Rosé (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Hints of spice and Morello cherries entice on the nose of this pleasantly dry rosé made from Merlot grapes. The palate is clean with decent red fruit flavors, but there’s a hollowness overall, and a hint of tomato water on the finish that detracts.
