  August 9, 2013 - Nice red fruit and overall structure. Not an inky blockbuster, but a well made CF from the Finger Lakes that show this region's potential. The acidity and soft tannins on the finish make this food-friendly. Glad I hung onto it for a while, but perhaps another year or two in the bottle and it will soften and round out a bit. PJP 2013.

  March 13, 2012 - Aromas of flowers and sage. Tart but rich palate of cranberry, lemon and red fruits. Full orange peel, lemon finish. Strong acid backbone supports firm, full flavors. More depth would be nice, but it's quite good as is. A great value anywhere south of $20.

  March 9, 2012 - Opens with musky, slightly vegetal notes, this swirls to reveal blackberry fruit that seem elegant and perfumed. Round, rich and ripe for the varietal and the terroir, with light to medium bodied, good balance, and juicy black fruit and peppercorn flavors.

  February 22, 2012 - Winemaker Notes: Cabernet Franc is quickly gaining a reputation as a star in the Finger Lakes. This grape is ideally suited for cool climate growing and produces a consistently ripe crop each vintage. Although it is often used as a base for a blend, this grape stands beautifully on its own as a full bodied wine. Grown in the warm confines of our Magdalena Vineyard site, a lengthy growing season produces exceptional depth of character. The deep color matches ripe fruit and earthy tones as a prelude to velvety firm tannins and rich black cherry flavor.
