Review date: November 14, 2026

Wine Review: This crowd-pleasing Cabernet Franc from the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania is a brilliant deep red color, with aromas of grilled plum, black currant, tobacco leaf, violets, and fresh garden herbs. Medium bodied with integrated medium-plus acidity on the palate, it's super smooth, bright, and zesty. There are flavors of strawberry, toasted cedar, tart blueberry, and crushed gravel, with notes of tangy raspberry and thyme. There are light, fine tannins in the dry, moderate finish. Serve cool with roast lamb loin with rosemary. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Deep currants and blackberries with toasty oak define the nose while the palate shows a supply array of bright raspberry and red plum flavors.
