A charming estate-grown Cabernet Franc from New York’s Hudson River Valley. Thanks to a warm, dry vintage, it’s packed with concentrated juicy red fruits like raspberries and cranberries that's balanced by a touch of violet, dried herbs, and bell pepper. The 8 months it spent in old French oak adds gentle tobacco, smokiness, and a hint of spice, finishing with soft tannins and a bright, refreshing lift. –Jennifer Bui
