On the palate a smooth, soft richness leads into a lingering finish.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Winemaking Notes:</span><br>Long Island turns out to be a very good place to grow grapes for wine. Its climate is often compared to that of Bordeaux. Its soils are also very similar, being deep sandy soils that drain well (a necessity in a relatively wet -- 30" of rain per year-- climate.) <br><br> Grape climates are described by the number of sunshine hours, the number of frost-free days and the number of "degree days". We have more sunshine in Peconic than any other spot in New York: around 230 sunny days per year. <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br><table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td>Appellation:</td><td><a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/North-Fork of Long Island.html" target=_new>North Fork of Long Island</a></td></tr><tr><td>Varietal:</td><td>Merlot %</td></tr></tbody></table></div><br><a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=101" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Lenz Winery wine list</a></P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category101" TITLE="Lenz Winery">Lenz Winery</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product436 TITLE="Lenz 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Lenz-OV-Cab-01[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Lenz 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines" NAME="Lenz 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product436 TITLE="Lenz 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines">Lenz 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/North-Fork-of-Long-Island.html" target=_>North Fork, Long Island</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1274 TITLE="Lenz 2001 Merlot, Old Vines"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/lenz-OV-Merlot-01[th].gif" ALIGN=left ALT="Lenz 2001 Merlot, Old Vines" NAME="Lenz 2001 Merlot, Old Vines" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1274 TITLE="Lenz 2001 Merlot, Old Vines">Lenz 2001 Merlot, Old Vines</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/North-Fork-of-Long-Island.html" target=_new>North Fork, Long Island</a> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1247 TITLE="Lenz 2005 Chardonnay Old Vines"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/lenz-OV-Chardonnay-05[th].gif" ALIGN=left ALT="Lenz 2005 Chardonnay Old Vines" NAME="Lenz 2005 Chardonnay Old Vines" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product1247 TITLE="Lenz 2005 Chardonnay Old Vines">Lenz 2005 Chardonnay Old Vines</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/North-Fork-of-Long-Island.html" target=_new>North Fork, Long Island</a> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron" TITLE="Appellation America Products">Appellation America Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://wine.appellationamerica.com">Appellation America</A> <BR>Appellation America <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
