Cabernet Sauvignon New York Premium Selection

Closer to mature Bordeaux vintages than the Californian style, with notes of dried cherry and cassis, this wine is the Cabernet for meat lovers. Sourced from vineyards on the North Fork of Long Island, this wine is structured, layered, complex and complete, it’s the perfect steak Cabernet.

Washingtonville (NY) John Jaques, a shoemaker by trade, began growing native grapes in the yard of his Washingtonville, New York store as early as 1824. By 1835 he had established a large vineyard, selling his grapes in the New York City market. When prices dropped, Jaques turned to wine production instead, releasing his first commercial vintage in 1839, under the “Blooming Grove Winery” label.
As an elder in his Washingtonville Presbyterian church, Jaques initially produced wine for sacramental use, but from the first vintage the wine quickly developed a reputation for purity, “free from alcoholic adulteration.” These qualities have brought Jaques wines into great prominence.

In 1858, Jaques passed the operation to his three sons, John Jr., Oren and Charles. Renamed first “John Jaques Jr. & Brothers” and then “Jaques Brothers Winery,” the three brothers expanded the vineyards and increased production to 15 different styles of wine, holding approximately 35,000 gallons of wine, port and brandy. -dug underground cellars.

The Jaques Brothers Winery continued to prosper until, in 1886, ill health forced Charles Jaques, the last surviving Jaques brother, to sell the entire winery and vineyards to New York wine merchants J. M. Emerson & Son.
The disastrous 1999 fire, which damaged several historic buildings, slowed Brotherhood’s expansion for several years. In 2005, a new partnership was formed between Cesar Baeza and the families of Luis Chadwick and Pablo Castro, who have deep roots in the famous Maule Valley wine region of Chile.

The new board of directors, led by President Luis Chadwick, and a new management team immediately began a massive restoration and renovation program at Brotherhood Winery. The partnership has also reinvigorated interest in producing quality wines while keeping the winery at the forefront of the New York wine industry.
