The Archive Cabernet
A small allocation Cabernet, kept in Commack for the few who ask.
The story behind The Archive
Cabernet Sauvignon is the sturdy red grape that built a following on structure and patience. In the glass it usually leads with dark fruit, then cedar, tobacco or a graphite edge, and it tends to firm up with tannin that softens as the wine breathes. Styles range from bright and medium bodied to dense and long lived, depending on where the fruit grew and how long it saw oak.
We stock The Archive Cabernet Sauvignon here in Commack, and only a bottle or two sits on the shelf at a time. When it is gone, it is gone until the next allocation lands.

Which The Archive is right for you?
The Archive Cabernet Sauvignon is $59.99 for a 750mL bottle, and we hold only one or two at a time. At that price we would open it alongside a steak or a slow braise rather than pour it casually. Call the Commack shop at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over and we will confirm what is on the shelf.
