Cabernet Franc 2021
Using exclusively stainless steel instead of wood, the 2019 Classic Label Cabernet Franc strives to represent a true expression of Cabernet Franc from the Finger Lakes. This wine, which draws inspiration from Cru Beaujolais, has a bright cherry and violet fruit aroma with a mineral tension in the midpalate. Invigorating on the palate, it provides a welcome contrast to the oaky notes in the single-vineyard Cabernet Franc.
