    Fresh and fruity, this medium-bodied Cabernet Franc offers forward red berry and plum flavors framed by soft, easy tannins. It's a plush, juicy sip, with pleasant hints of bell pepper, sage and fresh cranberry acidity. Drink now through 2019.

    While supple in mouthfeel, this offers a curious juxtaposition of puckery sour cherry and cranberry notes against slightly overripe black-fruit flavors. Soft tannins frame a relatively brisk finish. Drink now.

  • 200582 pts

    Crisp red plum and cherry flavors accented with ripe, brambly wood notes are pleasant, but coarse tannins combined with a slightly craggy acidity make this Long Island Cab Franc less than harmonious on the palate.
