The Story
Nathan Kendall, one of the Finger Lakesâ most exciting winemakers, brings a light touch and a Burgundian sensibility to his site-driven wines. His 2021 Cabernet Franc is a beautiful reflection of the regionâs cool-climate elegance, emphasizing purity, freshness, and subtle complexity. Sourced from carefully farmed vineyards and made with minimal intervention, this wine highlights the varietyâs more lifted, refined side.
Juicy raspberry, red cherry, and wild cranberry lead, accented by crushed violets, graphite, and a hint of green herbs. The palate is vibrant yet silky, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity keeping it fresh and food-friendly. A natural pairing for roast poultry, grilled vegetables, or simple bistro fare, this is a Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc that balances charm with quiet depthâbuilt for both immediate enjoyment and short-term aging.
