with a touch of bitters to counterbalance the undoubted ripeness of the grape which is doing the dance of the seven veils

Everything very obviously done by hand (the steep grade of this vineyard is barely walkable

Wolffer Estate Vineyard Long Island Cabernet Franc 2023 CAVA with a touch of bittersDark red brick in color. The aroma is filled with fine sandalwood, prunes, ripe blueberries and hints of liquorice. The mouth feel is elegant but firm and there is a nice round fruit component that is wonderfully balanced by great minerality, fine toasted oak and layers of ripe tannins. There is a vibrant long finish with a hint of bell pepper typically for Cabernet Franc. This is a great food wine and will improve nicely with age. 80. 5% Cabernet
