Classic Cabernet aromatics of black currant, bing cherry, and ripe raspberry followed by subtle notes of dark chocolate, rose hips, beechwood, vanilla bean, thyme, and Turkish spices. This wine leans more towards elegance than power. The palate has silky approachable tannins with firm acidity carrying the mid palate. The finish is long but soft and approachable.
Are you kidding me? $25 for a Gramercy wine? Load up on this one. Aromas of macerated strawberries, dark cherries and a trace of corn masa are a nice start. Then you get ripe red-raspberry and dark-chocolate flavors that go on forever. This is silky smooth stuff, with nicely integrated tannins

Made with splashes of Merlot and Petit Verdot, the 2019 Lower East Cabernet Sauvignon is succulent and red-berried with floral and spicy elements that waft from the fresh and open nose. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is focused, mineral-tensioned and balanced with a soft tannic edge and ends with a food-friendly finish. Aged 18 months in 28% new French oak, this fantastic wine will be released in early 2024. This is impressive and complex, punching well above its weight class.
