WINE DESCRIPTION
Lakewood Cabernet Franc is a premium red wine produced by Lakewood Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. This wine is made from Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the winery's estate vineyards, which are situated on the rolling hills overlooking Seneca Lake. The vineyards benefit from the lake's moderating influence, which helps to create a long growing season and optimal ripening conditions. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied Cabernet Franc with notes of black cherry, plum, and spice, and a smooth, velvety finish.
