2023 CABERNET FRANC

Cabernet Franc is the single grape that unites all of New York's wine regions, and one that we're proud to grow on our own estate vineyards. One of the most notable aspects about this varietal is that you can create an incredible variety of styles from it, all of which are very expressive of the site from which the grapes originate. This makes Cabernet Franc the red poster-child for showcasing the stunning variation of terroir that exists in the Finger Lakes region, and part of what makes the region as a whole a geographical gem in the wine world.

We fermented our Cabernet Franc in neutral barrels to soften the tannin and round out the texture of the wine while maintaining the delicate red and black fruit notes of this supple wine, followed by 13 months of oak aging prior to bottling.
