"Sourced from Martini Family fruit on Seneca Lake,s westside, the 2023 Cabernet Franc by Apollo,s Praise brings layers of flavour to discover in this unoaked red wine. Peel back dried herbs and the earthy smokiness of white pepper to discover black cherries, raspberries, blueberries, and eucalyptus. Acid and well-integrated tannins provide a satisfying structure. Enjoy with a chill. -Maiah Johnson Dunn"
