  McLaughlin Vineyards Red Blend Vista Reposa 2004

  Snoothrank:

  blend of merlot, syrah and cabernet, this is a beautiful red. The nose is deep and rich with notes of stone fruits, particularly plum. Smooth, dry, with strong notes of oak, the plum provides a depth and richness to the wine that is really interesting. Read More

  Mclaughlin Vineyards Merlot 2004

  Snoothrank:

  100% Merlot from grapes obtained from Long Island vineyards, this Merlot is a dry, medium-bodied wine with subtle notes of cherry. The color is a rich red, with a rich and fruity nose. There is a slight bite at the end, and I anticipate that it will age well. One of the more interesting Merlots Ive encountered so far on the Connecticut Wine Trail. Read More

  Mclaughlin Vineyards White Blend Vista Amber NV

  Snoothrank:

  Mclaughlin Vineyards Snow Goose NV

  Snoothrank:

  This is a winter white, a late harvest wine; the grapes are harvested around the time of the first frost. Its a semi-sweet wine, though, and drier than what I normally expect from a late harvest wine. The color is a medium-yellow, and the nose is sweet and fruity. In the mouth both the sweetness and fruitiness are light and nicely balanced. Read More

  Mclaughlin Vineyards Chardonnay NV

  Snoothrank:

  This is a smooth, crisp, dry Chardonnay. Pale yellow with a bright, slightly citrus nose, the wine itself is light with notes of citrus and oak. A fellow Snoother, Christy S., who was with me when I tasted this mentioned that the aftertaste was reminiscent of a Muscadine. Read More

  Mclaughlin Vineyards Coyote Blue NV

  Snoothrank:

  The tasting notes describe this as a semi-dry white. A blend of aurore and vidal blanc grapes, the color is a beautiful medium-gold that catches the light. The nose has strong notes of green apple, and there is a tartness in the wine that off-sets the semi-sweetness beautifully. A friend described it as getting into the roof of your mouth - a ve...
