Wölffer Estate ‘Caya’ Cabernet Franc 2021 Review
Roman Roth, winemaker at Long Island’s iconic Wölffer Estate since 1992, has long believed in Cab Franc’s potential here, and this bottling showcases his skill and dedication. It opens with a peppery nose of wild berries and earth, followed by a soft, focused palate. With its balanced acidity and medium-weighted savory fruit, this is a sophisticated expression of the region's potential.
