Apollo's Praise Cabernet Franc Picardie Seneca Lake

A gorgeous expression of Cabernet Franc that demonstrates why Cabernet Franc thrives in the Finger Lakes wine region. Comprising the palate are aromas of black raspberry, rosemary, leather, and redcurrant, with a lively licorice finish and fruit-derived tannins. The grapes were organically farmed by Peter Martini of Anthony Road. Native yeast fermentation in stainless steel followed by punch downs and pump overs three to four times a day during peak fermentation, then the must is kept on skins and stems for 6 more weeks, allowing this wine to develop a fuller profile with scrumptious tannins.

Food Pairings: Grilled king oyster mushrooms with black garlic and crispy shallots, swiss hamburger, black bean focused burrito,, and other fatty, acidic, or smoky dishes.
