Country: US / Flying & Falling
Variety: Cabernet Franc New York
Winery: Southold / North Fork of Long Island
Sun-ripened bramble and dried herbs lend a savory rusticity to this spry yet decadently ripened Cabernet Franc. It’s not a brawny wine, but powerful in impact, full of black fruit flavors and jolted by veins of fine tannin and pert acidity. It’s lovely now, but structured enough to continue to improve till at least 2020.
