The 2022 Cabernet Franc showcases the variety’s elegance and spice-driven character with a Finger Lakes signature. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby color with bright edges. Aromas of red raspberry, black cherry, and plum are layered with savory herbs, violets, and a subtle touch of white pepper. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and vibrant, offering flavors of fresh red fruits, dried herbs, and a hint of earthiness framed by fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and graceful, leaving lingering notes of spice and bright fruit. This Cabernet Franc is a beautiful expression of balance, purity, and cool-climate finesse. 16 months in French oak.
