Wölffer 1997 Brut Sparkling (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- Editors' Choice
- $27
Crisp, firm and packed with intensity. The wine serves up lots of hazelnut, toast, spice, citrus, apple, melon, pear, honeysuckle and herb flavors. Creamy and rich on the finish, with a bright, refreshing edge.

Wölffer 1998 Estate Selection Merlot (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- $30
Elegant nose of sandalwood and cedar. Black cherries come on strong and carry through to the finish. A very smooth and polished wine; finishes on an expansive note with fine tannins.

Wölffer 1998 Estate Selection Chardonnay (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- $27
Nutty aromas reminiscent of cashews lead the way, followed up on the palate by more roasted nuts, white peaches and nectarines. Picks up some elegant citrus notes on the long finish. Based on a recent tasting of the 1997 Estate Selection (rated 90), this should improve over the next six months to a year.

Wölffer 1998 Cabernet Franc (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- $25
Aromas of tobacco, dried flowers and earth segue into fairly rich dark-fruit flavors of black cherry and plum. Very velvety on the palate, with cedar notes on the finish. Drink now.

Wölffer 2000 Late Harvest Chardonnay (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- $35
A syrupy sweet dessert wine that serves up gobs of apricot and peach flavors. But searingly bright lemon-like acidity, reminiscent of eiswein, balances the richness and leaves the palate fresh.

Wölffer 1999 Estate Selection Merlot (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- Online Exclusive
- $33
Smooth textured, with soft but firm tannins and moderate acidity. The wine serves up black currant, tea, cola, sage, toast and citrus flavors. The feel turns a bit powdery on the end, finishing clean and fresh.

Wölffer 2007 Cassango Cabernet Sauvignon
- $40
Rich with fleshy black plum and cherry flavors, Wölffer’s Cassango meshes deeply concentrated fruit with swathes of smoke, violets and darkly toasted oak. Bright, brisk acidity carries a long finish marked by a coating of soft, powdery tannins.

Wölffer 2008 Estate Merlot (The Hamptons, Long Island)
- $20
Herbaceous and brambly on the nose and palate, Wölffer’s Estate Merlot is concentrated in red plum and cherry fruit but lean in structure, with lively acidity and a softly tannic finish. It drinks well now, but it could benefit from decanting.
