Barry Family Cellars Cabernet Franc 2023

This wine is a single-varietal expression of Cabernet Franc, typically sourced from the Challen Vineyard on the west side of Cayuga Lake. It is made using a minimalist approach, featuring fermentation with ambient yeast and being bottled unfined and unfiltered. It is often compared favorably to wines from Chinon or Anjou Rouge in France's Loire Valley, with a deeply spicy, savory, and dark-fruited profile. The wine is aged in a large, older French oak puncheon to provide structure without heavy oak influence.
