WINE DESCRIPTION

Raphael Cabernet Franc is a premium red wine produced by Raphael Vineyard, a renowned winery located in the North Fork of Long Island, New York. This wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the estate's sustainably farmed vineyards, which benefit from the region's maritime climate and sandy loam soils. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Cabernet Franc, with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and spice, and a medium-bodied palate with firm tannins and a long finish. Raphael Cabernet Franc is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality, terroir-driven wine with a sense of place.
