Ripe fruit that even edges on jammy, but stays fresh and crunchy with toasty barrel notes, earthy tobacco and subtle herbs. Great #LIwine cab franc

2013 vintage Really ripe lighter to medium bodied and delicious. Tannins aren't as grippy as the past vintages

The 2013 is showing beautifully right now. Fruity, complex. Can't wait to check it Again in a year.
