Macari 2000 Essencia White (North Fork of Long Island)
- $35
Quite honey-like, with a strong apricot component. Lush, rich and velvety on the palate. The wine is intense and focused, and long on the finish.

Macari 2008 Dos Aguas Red (North Fork of Long Island)
- $27
Hints of graphite, dark toast and sweet spice add an interesting dimension to the ripe black-cherry and plum notes on the nose and palate of this Merlot-based blend. The palate is concentrated but crisp in acidity, with hints of fresh herbs and violets. Can drink now, but its bold, tannic structure could evolve pleasantly with cellaring.

Macari 2010 Riesling
- $26
Only their second vintage of Finger Lakes Riesling, Long Island’s Macari Vineyards makes quite a splash with this beautifully honeyed yet dry and fruitful wine. Richly textured with notes of yellow freesia and preserved peach, it finishes elegantly on a subtly astringent black tea note.

Macari 2007 Reserve Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)
- $36
Lush and forward with juicy blackberry fruit, this supple Merlot is richly concentrated and creamy in texture, yet it’s invigorated by rippling acidity and hints of freshly cracked pepper. It finishes with a touch of fresh mint and briar.

Macari 1998 Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)
- $24
This top-notch effort is toasty from its stay in French oak, but has the rich depth of fruit to retain its balance. Although tight right now, black cherry and espresso flavors are tinged with dried herbs. The finish is tart and lingering, and slightly tannic. Hold for two or three years, then drink over the next five or so.

Macari 2008 Cabernet Franc (North Fork of Long Island)
- $35
Macari’s supple, vanilla-scented Cab Franc is upfront and approachable in its sour cherry fruitfulness, yet boasts some complexity with layers of ripe, brambly wood, dust and dark floral notes. Finishes clean with lively acidity and a coating of grippy, yet fine-grained tannins.

Macari 2011 Katherine’s Field Sauvignon Blanc (North Fork of Long Island)
- $23
Violet perfume and hints of sweet red berries are intoxicating on the nose of this brisk yet concentrated wine. Delicate flavors of gooseberry and white peach are ripe yet elegant, finishing on a crisp, tonic note.
— A.I.

Macari 2011 Rosé (North Fork of Long Island)
- $15
Hints of ripe briar and tart Asian plums add pucker to the concentrated raspberry and strawberry notes of this elegant, easy-drinking rosé. Brisk acidity and a delicate note of violet-petal spray caps things off. Drink now.
