Fjord Vineyards Estate Cabernet Franc 2022 Review
The Empire State is showing the U.S. a new style of Cabernet Franc. A style that absolutely embraces the variety’s inherent bright, red-fruited, and savory characteristics. Fjord has been doing this in the Hudson Valley, flanked by two mountains, since 2013. This wine is such a great example of the New York style. It has a rich nose of wild berries and spice. The palate is balanced and textured, offering a medium weight and supple tannins that linger on the finish.
