"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"

"Attractive nose of blackcurrants and sour cherries with notes of red beets and licorice. Excellent balance of restrained fruit, elegant tannins and delicate freshness. Builds gently to a crescendo finish. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
