Introduction:
This elegant Cabernet Franc showcases the Finger Lakes’ cool-climate finesse. Vibrant and aromatic, it beautifully balances bright red fruit with herbal nuance and soft structure.

Terroir:
Sourced from estate vineyards planted between 1974 and 1999 around Keuka and Seneca Lakes. The rocky, shale-based soils combined with cool nights contribute striking minerality and vibrant natural acidity. Crafted sustainably, the wine reflects a hands-on, terroir-first philosophy.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with a bright, youthful edge.

Nose:
Aromatic and enticing, offering layers of ripe red berries, black cherry, violet florals, and savory herbs, finished with a whisper of white pepper.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and lively, with juicy cranberry and raspberry fruit framed by refreshing acidity. Fine-grained tannins and subtle herbal complexity add depth and structure.

Finish:
Clean, vibrant, and lasting—red fruit and spice linger with mineral precision.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced Cabernet Franc defined by fresh red fruit, aromatic lift, and fine mineral tension. Approachable now, it also has the structure to gain subtle complexity over the next few years.
