Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc

Last glass left sense that could use decant and or some years in bottle. Medium bodied, Strong blackberry fruited but that last glass has some menthol & bay leaf notes.

Delicious reminder of our Finger Lakes anniversary trip a couple years ago. Lighter and fruiter than other Cabs. Enjoyed with a delicious dinner steak grilled outside. This wine is versatile and more fruity than my other Franc favs, kinda reminds me of Chianti.

A very enjoyable wine, especially for the price. Lively, well balanced, and rich flavor with green pepper standing out early.

Deeply purplish garnet color. Understated nose with simple fruitiness and a hint of tobacco. Opened this@bottle aweek ago and drank the last glass and a half tonight’s dinner. Crisp acidity held the wine together amazingly well and highly drinkable, even a week later. How interesting might this wine be in a few years or a decade?

Jan 12th, 2020Finger lakes cab franc is so great. Some dark fruits, herbs, underbrush and spice on the nose; medium bodied with a lot of expressive mid palate flavor with decent acidity.
