Beautiful dark red color. On the nose I get RIPE red fruits and some tobacco with a hint of chocolate and amaretto. On the palate there is a great balance of ripe fruit and vanilla smokey oak. The mouth feel of this wine is substantial and there is a dry finish that I like a lot! This wine is thick and juicy and has many layers that are all balanced very well and compliment each other nicely. I like this wine!!! My friends brought me this wine as a gift from the winery, thanks guys, now I want to go to the finger lakes:]

(Lucas Vineyards Cabernet Franc Reserve Finger Lakes) Deep color. Smoky on the nose with grilled peppers, muted dark fruit and black pepper. More smoke and grilled green peppers on the palate with ripe, rich black cherry. Full body and plush mid-palate. Could use a bit more structure in the form of tannin or acid. Long smoky, dry finish.

Better in 12 that it was in 09, aged well , great value, smooth but not too strong, mild tannins, moderate oak.
