| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by agsdlswine on 5/15/2024 & rated 90 points: Still young but opened up nicely over 2 hours. Probably needs several more years to best show its well made potential. (126 views) | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 7/25/2023: Green Pepper Inc. (1207 views) | | Tasted by wgilbert3 on 6/11/2023 & rated 89 points: Strong vegetal nose, even stronger vegetable notes on the palate. Definitely way too young though nice balance and great structure with red fruit evident but needs time (1115 views) | | Tasted by KSWinegeek on 6/5/2023 & rated 89 points: Bright ruby red. Initial nose had a lot of tobacco notes, eventually settled to just black cherry with a touch of vanilla. Fruity black cherry flavors, not overly complex. Loses some steam on the palate, but still a good wine. (1095 views) | | Tasted by robertp57 on 3/10/2023 & rated 90 points: Fruit aroma up front, moderate acidity,light tannins, a little oak but not overwhelming. It was a big hit at a dinner party with a Greek chicken and vegetables sheet pan dinner. Like other Ravines wines, this is better with food, and it makes food better. (1018 views) | | Tasted by Giggs on 9/23/2022 & rated 79 points: FLX; 9/18/2022-9/26/2022: Blackberry liqueur and tons of dry oak and sawdust on the nose. Palate has a simple red-black cherry profile with more dry oak, then even more dry oak on the finish. (1217 views) | | Tasted by oldwines on 9/13/2022 & rated 90 points: Tasted at a trade event in NJ. Mix of mostly reddish fruit, lots of earth, slightly “green” with a nice licorice finish. Very young and restrained, not giving up much. Could be rather good but I found it very hard to assess as it probably needed a lot more air at this point in its evolution. Could be better with time, but having not had this before in ideal conditions I really had a hard time making a definitive judgement…90? (1038 views) | | Tasted by MikePass44 on 8/26/2022 & rated 91 points: Aromas of black raspberry ice cream, new leather, hint of black pepper, roasted jalapeño, cocoa. Flavors of red plum, black cherry, sweet tobacco, charred pepper. Med plus acid, med minus tannin, very well integrated. Medium body, pale purple color. Great offering from the fabulous 2020 vintage from the FLX region (736 views) | | Tasted by aajder on 8/16/2022 & rated 89 points: Great color. The nose shows aromas of raspberry, flowers, oak spices, herbs and minerals. This is medium bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and very good class. The medium plus length finish features moderate tannins and good freshness. Excellent balance.

The nose shows aromas of raspberry, cedar, flowers, herbs and a hint of earth. This is medium bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and very good class. The fairly long finish features moderate grip and good acid cut. Lots of potential here! (362 views) | | Tasted by wgilbert3 on 7/5/2022 & rated 89 points: Wow: way too young! Strong CF characteristics for sure. Big, bright red color; big tannins and green pepper leaping out of the glass. Likely to be great in a few years but hard to enjoy now. (330 views) | | Tasted by tenorselbow on 5/17/2022 & rated 89 points: Very moreish. Surprising how much body it had compared with other Finger Lakes Cab Francs. Nose of milk chocolate, stewed berries, crushed insects and white pepper. Big mouth of redcurrants, mint and fruit leather. Good acid on medium length finish with blueberries, longans and sherbet.

| Ravines Wine Cellars Producer websiteCabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.New York Uncork New York!
