Description

Cabernet Franc is a red grape very well suited to our Long Island terroir. We have made delicious, gulp-able Rosati out of it for years and are jazzed about occasionally offering this grape as a red wine with all the wonders that it brings to the table, our glasses and our souls. Our 2021 Cabernet Franc is a high-toned, bell-ringing and happy wine! Beautiful, melodic aromas and harmonious flavors of bright red fruit, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, currants and purple flowers coupled with a very faint sprinkle of herbs, silky textures and a wonderful lightness of being make this wine irresistible. Comprised of 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Syrah from the North Fork this wine was hand-harvested, de-stemmed, crushed by foot and punched down by hand. The wine was fermented wild/ambiently and spent eight months maturing in older oak puncheons. Our 2021 Cabernet Franc was handled minimally and bottled on July 1st, 2022. This wine will pair fabulously with charcuterie, light meat dishes, grilled fish and vegetables, pastas, wood-fired pizzas and most anything coming from a pig! This wine is very easy to drink immediately...however it will continue to evolve in the bottle for the next five years at least, so grab some extra, taste the evolution and be a part of the Cab Franc revolution! 208 cases produced.
