This classic expression of a cool climate Cabernet Franc has a rich garnet hue, with bright red fruit notes of black currant, raspberry, and a hint of anise. This bold red has notes of mocha and cocoa and a nice mid pallet giving way to fine, lingering tannins and a light smokiness with the slightest hint of vanilla.
The up-and coming wine varietal on the North Fork of Long Island, this bold and delicious Cabernet Franc showcases the depth of the varietal and pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods including swordfish, chicken, pork, and duck.

Tasting Notes
This classic expression of a cool climate Cabernet Franc has a rich garnet hue, with bright red fruit noted of black currant, raspberry, and a hint on anise. This bold red has notes of mocha and cocoa and a nice mid pallet giving way to fine, lingering tannins and a light smokiness with the slightest hint of vanilla.
Vineyard Notes
A moderately warm summer with below average rainfall led to very nice fruit development.
Production Notes
The fruit spent 18 days in contact with skins using the punchdown method to extract color and tannins. The blend is comprised of 82% Cabernet Franc, 12% Teroldego, and 6% Merlot fermented and aged separately and blended before bottling. The wine was aged for 14 months in medium plus toast Hungarian Oak.
Food Pairing Notes
A delicious sipper this bold red pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods including swordfish, seared tuna, pork, chicken, duck, Thanksgiving turkey, and roasted lamb just to name a few!
