Hosmer, Cabernet Franc, Finger Lakes, New York State, 2021

A bright garnet colour announces this brilliant, fresh Cabernet Franc from New York's Cayuga Lake—aromas of dusty early-season raspberry, fresh mint, and savoury depth. The palate is so well structured and complete. Bright freshness brought on by ample red berry fruits, an undercurrent of earl grey tea, and savoury balsamic and umami flavours saturate the mouthfeel. It's fresh, delicious and complex, and at just over $25, it's a tremendous value.
