Suhru Red

2008 Suhru™ Suhru Red
43% Merlot
24% Cabernet Franc
22% Petit Verdot
11% Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: North Fork of Long Island
13.1% alcohol
TA 6.45 g/L
pH 3.72
VA 0.66 g/L
This blend of four Bordeaux varieties mingles lush fruit forward flavors and full-bodied ‘fine’ tannin. Big and bold with moderate alcohol not to overwhelm the palate.
Black cherry, dark plums and wild blueberry fruit are apparent on the nose. All flow onto the palate with a hint of menthol coming through. A full mid-palate of tannins, some spicy flavors abound although the wine is a little “angular” right now. It will benefit from being paired with a juicy steak to compliment the tannins. It will soften beautifully with cellar age.

Suhru Pinot Grigio

2012 Suhru™ Pinot Grigio
94% Pinot Grigio
4% Riesling
2% Sauvignon Blanc
13.4% alcohol
TA 6.32 g/L
PH 3.16
VA 0.24 g/L
This Pinot Grigio was made entirely in stainless steel, with no malo-lactic secondary fermentation and no barrel aging to accentuate the vibrant varietal fruit aromas/flavor and to retain substantial crisp acidity. It was blended with 4% Riesling and 2% Sauvignon Blanc which adds additional aromatics and acidity to the wine.
Pale straw yellow in color, with inviting citrus aromas. Some pear flavors become apparent on the palate mixed with a hint of grapefruit. The crisp acidity doesn’t overwhelm the long lush finish. This wine goes well with all types of seafood, chicken dishes, and salads.

Blanc Rouge

100% Merlot
Appellation:  North Fork of LI
12.4% alcohol
TA 6.86 g/L
pH 3.01

The Merlot grapes were picked two weeks earlier than they would typically be harvested for red wine production. This wine is 100% Merlot, made in the Methode Champenoise tradition of whole cluster pressing. Blanc Rouge is made entirely in stainless steel and fermented at (65F), no malolactic secondary fermentation.

 

The aroma is of red Anjou pears and honeydew melon. This medium-light body wine has a slightly plush, soft finish with low acidity. It is a good sipping and easy drinking wine.

 

Suhru Dry Riesling

2012 Suhru™ Riesling
97% Riesling
3% Gewurztraminer
11.7 % Alcohol
TA 6.96 g/L
pH 3.23
VA 0.36 g/L
This Riesling is made entirely in stainless steel tanks and fermented cool (62 F) to accentuate the "minerality", no malo-lactic secondary fermentation and bottled early to retain a zingy vibrant acidity. It is blended with 3% Gewurtraminer to add aromatics and richness to the wine.
 
Light yellow in color, hints of white peach, red delicious apple and floral carnation petals abound from the glass. Lush tropical fruit mingles wonderfully with the zingy mid palate acidity. It’s an excellent sipping wine and a perfect complement to seafood, Asian cuisine, spicy foods and barbecue.

Suhru Shiraz

2011 Suhru™ Shiraz
100% Shiraz
Appellation: North Fork of Long Island
12.4%  alcohol
TA:6.07 g/L
pH: 3.77
VA: 0.6 g/L
This wine has a deep vibrant hue, red and violet purple in color. The aroma is bursting with red fruit, some raspberry, with hints of cardamom and earl grey tea leaf. The soft subtle tannins define this wine. It has a long lingering finish. The fruit for this wine came from two North Fork vineyards: Lazy Dog Vineyard in Cutchogue and Anderson Vineyard in Peconic. The fruit variation from the two different vineyards added complexity and allowed us to make a 100% Shiraz in 2011.
