Palmer 2007 Proprietor’s Reserve Cabernet Franc (North Fork of Long Island)

Country: US / Proprietor’s Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Franc New York
Winery: Palmer / North Fork of Long Island

Whiffs of black cherry and delicate violets make this full-bodied Long Island Cab Franc wonderfully aromatic. The palate as well is rich with red fruit, dark brambly notes and soft supple tannins, but the tomato leaf flavors that linger throughout are a distraction.
