The 2018 Cream Label Cabernet Franc aims for a pure expression ofCabernet Franc in the Finger Lakes by using only stainless steel rather than oak. Bright cherry and violet fruit on the nose underlaid by mineral tension in the midpalate, in many ways this wine uses Cru Beaujolais as a touchstone. Refreshing to drink, it stands as a joyous counterpoint to the influence of oak that our singlevineyard Cabernet Franc requires.
