"This prototypical Finger Lakes dry rose has a wealth of red cherry and red currant fruit on the well-rounded, medium-bodied palate. The restrained tannins deftly underline all the fruit, gently building in the surprisingly long, dry finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

"The 2024 Cabernet Franc Picardie is absolutely crushable, delivering a fresh, bright mix of strawberry, lavender, fresh tobacco and sweet black cherry, all energized by tart, citrusy acids. Light-bodied and supple, the 2024 is a vibrant, immensely enjoyable bistro red."
