The 2019 Fatalis Fatum is mostly a 62/26 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc with about 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and a dollop of Petit Verdot for the rest, all aged for about 20 months in 44% new French barriques. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. This is another fine Fatalis Fatum, probably a step up over the overachieving 2018, although both are not here today together. Beautifully constructed, it has focus and finesse, more than adequate concentration and ripe tannins for structure. It is a wine that doesn't seem to have a hair out of place while still seeming serious. It seems as if it can age well and develop much more, yet it is also drinkable today. Admittedly, it is just a little tight. The ripeness of the tannins makes it possible to knock back, though. Overall, this is a fine success, with the chance of further improvement for those who wish to cellar it a few years. There were 1,165 cases produced, plus some magnums. ... More details

Wine Spectator
Delivers direct plum and black cherry notes, which are lined with singed cedar and a flash of warm earth on the slightly rustic finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now. 1,165 cases made.
Winery
Dark red almost black in color. Classic ripe aromas fill the glass with hints of cassis, prunes, fine notes of tar, vanilla, iodine and toasted oak. The mouth-feel is rich with great layers of ripe tannin, wonderful soft fruit and fine acidity, making it a perfect balanced and especially well-suited wine to go with food. The finish is rich and long with ripe dried fruit and dark chocolate. This blend is a great statement for this region and will unfold for many years to come.

Region: New York

New York state has a relatively long history of wine-making and vineyard cultivation, with vineyards in the region dating back to the Dutch settlements of the 17th century. As such, the region has slowly discovered the unique qualities of their terroir, and has developed a distinctive set of grape varietals which have gone on to represent the state and make their wines both unique and highly regarded. New York state has four key wine producing areas – Lake Erie AVA, Finger Lakes AVA, Hudson River and Long Island, each making the most of their relatively cool climate and characterful terroirs. The strong blend of both traditional and contemporary wine making methods found in this region has led to New York state being responsible for many of the finest and most interesting wines to come out of the United States.

Country: United States

For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.
