WINE DESCRIPTION
Sheldrake Point Cabernet Franc is a premium red wine produced by Sheldrake Point Winery, located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The wine is made from Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the winery's estate vineyards, which are situated on the shores of Cayuga Lake. The vineyards benefit from the lake's moderating influence, which helps to create a microclimate that is ideal for grape growing. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Cabernet Franc grape, with notes of black cherry, raspberry, and spice. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, and is sure to impress any wine lover.
