Lucas Vineyards Limited Reserve Cabernet Franc 2014, Finger Lakes, New York

Tasting Note: A plush cabernet franc that impresses.

Deep ruby in color this cab franc has an aromatic nose filled with red fruit with some black fruit undertones.

Red plum, red currant and black cherry aromas play on the top layer of the wine underpinned by blackberry, cedar and strawberry-clove aromas.

The red-on-top-of-black-fruit layering on the nose also continues to the palate. The cabernet franc is medium in acidity and body with silky tannin.

It exhibits medium-plus complexity due in part to the interplay of red and black fruit with the tannin.

A cab franc to enjoy and repeat.
