Bellangelo, Cabernet Franc 2013, Seneca Lake, Finger Lakes, New York

Tasting Note: This soft and supple cabernet franc demonstrates the potential of varietal in the New York Finger Lakes region and shows the best of what cab franc can be in a lighter-styled form.

This aromatic ruby-colored cabernet franc has a nose of red cherry, strawberry, red plum, clove baking spice and orange citrus.

Aromas continue to the palate as flavors with red fruit components taking the lead followed by medium acidity that closes with a bit of tartness on the finish.

An enjoyable light- to medium- bodied wine to begin an evening – one I will have again.
