Harry Robibero is a terrific guy. Friendly. out going, successful. He's a out-sized personality. Harry is the patriarch of the wine clan who owns and operates Robibero Winery. Most recently, I ran into his beautiful and talented daughter Tiffany Robibero at the Bounty of the Hudson Wine Festival in New Paltz.
When I asked her what new wines they were offering she told me about Haro. Haro was named in honor of her father (who's construction and snow plowing businesses are also named Haro). He wanted a great big red for their line of excellent wines, and this current bottling was the result of a non-vintage blend of New York state 37% Petit Verdot, 35% Merlot, and 28% Cabernet Franc. This is a big, thick red with dark stewed cherries, dark raspberries, and black berry and cassis. A big smooth wine worthy of a big, fascinating individual. A very nice blend.
A big red wine as unique and bold as the man it's named after. Congrats to the Robibero family.
