This Reserve red wine has been released in celebration of Sakonnet Vineyard's 30th anniversary. It is a classic Bordeaux assemblage made from equal parts of our best lots of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It was aged for twelve months in the finest French oak barrels. The Estate's most elegant blend shows its beautiful balance and subtle finesse through silky tannins and layers of ripe fruit. A highly complex wine, it is reminiscent of wild berries, black cherries and licorice, complemented by aromas of dark chocolate, black olives, truffles and cedar wood.

The components selected for this wine were chosen for their fresh, forward, cherry-like aromas and their contribution to the light, smooth mouth-feel. This blend produces a fresh, zesty red wine that can be enjoyed with New England cuisine.

This dry, fruity, crisp, distinctive blend was assembled from four varietal wines to provide diverse aromas and flavors that compliment New England cuisine. Yet, it is fruity, medium-bodied and crisp with a nice clean and lingering finish that makes it equally suitable as a stand-alone aperitif.

Sakonnet's world-class sparkling wine is hand-crafted using the classic Methode Champenoise. The grapes were harvested in October, 1996, after the coolest summer on record. The Cuvee was bottled in January 1999 and was aged "en tirage" for six years. The late-disgorged 1996 shows the elegant citrus characters of our estate Chardonnay complemented by fine cherry aromas of our Pinot Noir. These combine with delicious notes of fresh baked bread and honey from the long aging process on the yeast. On the palate, the wine is crisp yet extraordinarily creamy, providing a rich and long lasting finish. This is the perfect for special occasions....or no occassion at all!

Our Sweet Harvest dessert wine is made from a luscious blend of the ripest grapes grown in our estate vineyards to celebrate the nautical and agricultural heritage of coastal New England.

Spinnaker White is a refreshing blend of wine from some very fruity white grapes. The juice is fermented slowly in cooled stainless steel tanks to retain and maximize the fresh qualities.

Serve chilled, this mouth-filling wine provides a natural complement to fresh fruits and mild cheeses. Spinnaker white is equally suitable as a stand-alone aperitif.

Our Vidal grapes were harvested in mid-October. The classic floral, fruity up-front nose of this wine fools your palate into assuming it has a sweeter style. But in actuality, the finish is very dry - reminiscent of Pinot Grigio. Our 2004 Vidal Blanc was 100% stainless steel fermented at an average temperature of 50°F for two months. Vidal Blanc is Sakonnet's signature wine.
