Profile & Story
Macari Vineyards is a three-generation family estate on the North Fork of Long Island in Mattituck, NY, farming nearly 500 acres with a strong focus on sustainable/biodynamic practices (compost teas, cover crops, minimal irrigation) developed with the estate's longtime vineyard manager. The Reserve Merlot is sourced from the estate's own North Fork vineyards, aged in oak to add structure and complexity beyond the winery's standard-tier Merlot.
Tasting Notes
Style-typical note (specific vintage tech sheet not locatable): North Fork Long Island Merlot in the Reserve tier typically shows dark plum and black cherry fruit, soft tannins, and a touch of oak spice, reflecting the North Fork's maritime, Bordeaux-like growing climate.
