Saltbird Cellars
Before launching her own label, Winemaker Robin Epperson-McCarthy spent her formative years honing her craft by working harvests in the Awatere & Marlborough Valleys of New Zealand, the Tamar River Valley in Tasmania, and the Macedon Ranges in Australia. Her deep roots on Long Island and travels on the other side of the globe are expressed in this focused series, where she applies the methods from her travels to the very best blocks of North Fork fruit. The name “Saltbird” is an imagined creature evoking Robin’s love for maritime life, a tribute to her love of sailing and the sea. Saltbird Cellars represent the freedom to follow your passion, no matter where it takes you.

The 100% North Fork Merlot is the antithesis to those mass-produced wines of the early aughts—ripe berry bramble coupled with the smooth and velvet tannins of a bar of dark chocolate.
