Funky, sulfite nose just opened. If let it breathe for 15- 30 mins, the unpleasant nose will go away. Red/purple flower, candied or dried strawberry, raspberry and red cherry note, vanilla, toasted nuts, baking spice, black pepper, a bit creamy and a round mouth feel. Med plus body with med plus acidity. The characters of Cab Franc has been disguised by the oak. Sad but at least the wine taste balance.

Light color, soft tannins. Pleasant, but not great.

One of the best the North Fork has to offer. We introduced this bottle to our fellow wine enthusiast friends at dinner, loved it! Paired perfectly with charcuterie, and red sauce dishes. Perfect for sipping and conversation.
Macari Vineyard says:
Our 2015 Cabernet Franc is bursting with notes of strawberry, cherry, and fresh herbs. With a lively freshness of red fruits on the palate, this wine is medium bodied, has layers of flavors, and a long, persistent finish. We love this grape! 100% estate fruit from the Macari family farm in Mattituck.

A bit more of an aggressive merlot than my usual but still pretty good. After a full day of baby shark and tayo the little bus, this was a relief

Beautiful wine. I drank the 2013 vintage in 2019 after aging it a little.
