Finger Lakes, New York, USA
Another wine from our recent trip to the Finger Lakes, this delicious unoaked Cab Franc was made by Nathan Kendall under his family's Hickory Hollow label.
Very clear and light hued, it almost resembles a rosé. On the nose it is all fruit - cranberries, tart cherries, even some strawberries. The fruit leads the way on the palate as well, especially the cranberry, along with meadow grass and bitter greens, and a spicy bite on the finish. There is a mineral core, an aliveness, that I really love, and that makes it a great wine to pair with springtime foods.
