"Who would have thought the soul of the cherry could be so deep? This remarkable wine squares the circle of juiciness and structure, concentration and lightness. Lovely interplay of velvety tannins, fruit and creaminess on the medium-bodied palate. Long, refined finish. Matured in a 1,500-liter oak tank. Drink from release. Screw cap."

"This innovative cabernet franc from the Finger Lakes has a complex interplay of smoky oak with a wealth of dried herb and rooty aromas, all underlined by delicate red currant and black strawberry fruit. The sophisticated, silky tannins on the palate remind me of high-end red Loire wine, and there™s a savory complexity in the very long finish that™s really fascinating. Limited production. Fermented and matured in a large, new oak vat. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Cabernet Franc Lahoma Vineyards was fermented and aged in a 1500-liter oak tank. Brilliantly juicy and medium in body, the 2023 is an elegant Franc in every way. Purple flowers, sweet cherries, barely ripe strawberries and green herbs meet with a scintillating hint of black pepper that seasons the finish. Soft-textured and mouthwatering. Well done."
