Sourced from Doyle Vineyard Management in the Finger Lakes region, this red hybrid was fermented whole berry for 5 days and aged in American oak for 10 months prior to bottling. Light in body with a Grenache-like texture, it opens with ripe red fruit and brown baking spices, layered with tobacco leaf and a distinctly Cabernet Franc-like savouriness. Notes of bay leaf and green tobacco add intrigue to this savoury red. Serve slightly chilled for a refreshing and expressive taste of New York. Best enjoyed now through the next 2–3 years.
