Hargrave 1998 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 weightless palate that somehow carries a great deal of flavor.

Hargrave 1999 Sauvignon Blanc (North Fork of Long Island)
- $11
Picked quite ripe, the resulting wine features mainly melon and fig aromas and flavors, with very little grassiness in evidence. Crisp acidity on the finish provides the vivacity needed to pair with oysters or clams.

Hargrave 1998 Pinot Noir (North Fork of Long Island)
- $35
The dominant aromas are smoke, toast and cinnamon, which ride over tart-cherry fruit. Turns quite stemmy and tough on the finish. Drink young, with a piece of rare beef to help tame the tannins.

Hargrave NV Chardonette/White Blend Chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island)
- $7
A blended white, but predominantly—you guessed it—Chardonnay. The soft, sweet pear aromas and flavors are simple and clean, making this a decent quaffer on a hot summer day.

Hargrave NV Fleurette Rosé (North Fork of Long Island)
- $10
A lightweight Pinot that’s actually marketed as a rosé, this wine nevertheless manages to pack in decent flavors of apple skin, red berries and cinnamon, capped off by some leathery, meaty notes.

Hargrave 1999 Chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Despite the winery’s rechristening as Castello di Borghese, this is the Hargrave label, which was used for the 1999 vintage. Pear-nectar and clove aromas and flavors turn slightly appley, then lemony on the abbreviated finish.

Hargrave 1998 Chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island)
- $14
This wine shows some of the less appealing aspects of American oak: overt spice and vanilla flavors and a slick, oily mouthfeel.
— J.C.

Hargrave 1998 Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)
- $18
Strong mint and menthol aromatics give way to intense fresh-cut cedar flavors. There’s just too much wood for this woodchuck to chuck.
