Cabernet Franc, the premier red grape of Bordeaux and the Loire valley, thrives in New York's Finger Lakes where it is considered one of the most promising varieties.

In the Dr. Frank's vineyard it produces small amounts of fruity red wine of medium structure, making it an interesting alternative to the more tannic Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hearty flavors of cranberry and roasted red peppers erupt from this grand Bordeaux grape and finish with a supple mocha completion.

The palate displays elegance with moderate tannins, acidity and bright berry fruit.
