Treleaven, Reserve Cabernet Franc 2011, Cayuga Lake, New York

Tasting Note: Treleaven’s Cayuga Lake’s deep ruby-colored cabernet franc has a nose of freshly-macerated red cherry and blackberry that carries to your palate.

The wine is smooth, medium-bodied and straight forward showing intermediate complexity for the grape.

The cab franc finishes with a trace of stone fruit that give it a pleasurable lift at the end. This is a delicious spring to summer sipping wine that hits the spot without overwhelming with alcohol.

Tell your sister.
