Last night we enjoyed a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from a New York State winery, Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery. This 2005 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in oak for six months was delightfully fruit forward with a very smooth taste and finish. Dark fruit berry nuances followed from the aroma through to the finish. It’s a wine that is enjoyable with or without food.

Brotherhood, America’s Oldest Winery is located in Washingtonville, New York, the Hudson River Valley region of the state. A visit to the winery and tasting room will allow visitors to taste wines produced at Brotherhood as well as imported wines.

When visiting be sure to take the tour that should include a walk through caves built in the mid 1800’s. Tours also include numerous pieces of historic wine equipment, now no longer used. A review of the winery is available on the Wine Trail Traveler website.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers! Kathy
