'League of the Storm' Reserve, Abe Schoener. Blend of Cabernet Franc & Merlot, Vintage 2012.

The Red Hook Winery, founded in 2008 by Mark Snyder, aims to uncover and highlight the best vineyard sites in New York state. From the salty, sea-breeze-blown North Fork of Long Island to the stone, shale, and winter-dominated Finger Lakes, we work with grape farmers who give agricultural definition to New York’s nascent winegrowing country. Our three winemakers–Robert Foley, Abe Schoener, and Christopher Nicolson–create unique expressions of these individual vineyard sites, producing wines that reflect the climate, geology, and viticulture that make New York unlike any other growing region in the world.
