Jammy when first opened, this lead to more tannins over the course of a week. Soft tannin finish. Floral nose. 60% cab franc, 40% merlot

2013 Bedell 'First Crush' Cab Franc/Merlot, North Fork Long Island #nywine @bedellcellars. A fresh, bright red from early picked fruit. Fermented in stainless. Wild Cherry, raspberry and cranberry fruit dance in step with black pepper and dried herbs. I want this served slightly chilled with a platter for cured meats. Now!

An earthy, merlot-y nose with notes of fruit. Medium-bodied and bright on the palate. Bright acidity and sour cherry are laced with just a touch of earth. The finish is short and easy.
