Wölffer Estate Caya Cabernet Franc 2020

Wölffer Estate Caya Cabernet Franc is praised for its smooth, full-bodied character, with layers of blackberry, forest floor, and subtle spices. While some appreciate its rich, fruity profile, others find it lacks fruitiness and has a sharp acidity. The wine's nuanced flavors, including cassis, licorice, and pepper, make it a versatile choice for pairing with meats and cheeses.

The 2020 Wölffer Estate Caya Cabernet Franc presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, crushed violet, and a hint of graphite, underscored by subtle notes of cedar and green peppercorn. The palate is medium-bodied with a refined tannic structure, showcasing a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and plush fruit. Layers of dark cherry and plum unfold, complemented by a whisper of earthy minerality. The finish is elegantly persistent, echoing the wine's complexity and poise, making it a quintessential expression of Long Island's terroir.
