Named for the sculpted tools found near the vineyard and used by the earliest inhabitants of Long Island's North Fork more than 10,000 years ago, Clovis Point acknowledges its connection to the fertile land here. Planted in 2001 and opened in 2007, Clovis Point is among the newer vineyards on Long Island, but we seek to make wines that, like our namesake implements, pass the test of time. We have more than 10 acres of merlot, cabernet franc and chardonnay vines under production. We actively combine lots of high-quality fruit to produce distinctive varietal and blended wines of character and balance—not just the typical Merlot or Chardonnay. For example, our double-gold (Appellation America and Finger Lakes International Wine Competition) award-winning 2005 Merlot is 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Our 2007 Cabernet Franc combines 92% cabernet franc and 8% cabernet sauvignon. And our ever-popular Chardonnays (one stainless steel-fermented and one barrel-aged) both contain a small percentage of gewurztraminer. We make only 2,000 cases of wine each year and, with the goal of being a small, top-flight winery, we intend to keep our production low. Visit our tasting room—a lovingly renovated 1920s potato barn—and see why we’re so proud of our craft wines.
