Sourced from the historic Caywood Vineyard overlooking Seneca Lake, Forge Cellars’ 2024 Cabernet Franc is a refined cool-climate expression that highlights freshness, minerality, and precision. Aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, violets, dried herbs, and cracked pepper lead into a beautifully textured palate layered with vibrant red fruit, savory spice, and earthy complexity. Aged in neutral oak barrels, the wine shows remarkable purity and balance, with bright acidity and fine tannins carrying through a long, elegant finish. True to Forge Cellars’ terroir-driven philosophy, this Cabernet Franc combines energy, structure, and site transparency in a distinctly Finger Lakes style.
