<p>September 2019 is the prime example of why we live in the Finger Lakes; warm, sunny, dry, a truly spectacular run of weather for people and grapes alike. With a nearly perfect September, the crisp October that followed gave us grapes with both ripe flavors and refreshing acidity. Compared to the struggles of the autumn of 2018, 2019 was a much needed return to form. This Cabernet Franc from Glacier Ridge showcases the earthy smoky characteristics we have come to love in this vineyard site. While still young in the bottle, experience has shown us this wine will age with grace.</p><p>RS: 0.1%&nbsp; TA: 6.3 g/L&nbsp; pH: 3.65&nbsp; ALC: 12.5%</p><p><a href="https://www.rednewt.com/2022/01/22/2019-cabernet-franc-glacier-ridge-vineyard/" title="wine byte video"><img src="https://www.secureclubva.net/images/RedNewt/document-images/wine-byte-thumbnail-prod-notes-300x194.PNG" style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" /></a></p>
