Nathan K. Cabernet Franc 2020 Review
Finger Lakes native Nathan Kendall studied winemaking in cool-climate regions around the world, including New Zealand, Germany, and Oregon, before returning to the shores of Seneca Lake in 2011 to start his eponymous winery. Aside from making stunning Riesling, Kendall also dabbles in this region’s other exciting variety, Cabernet Franc. This bottle really showcases the wonderful inherent qualities of the grape. It's bright and peppery with a citrus tinge and berry aromas on the nose. The palate is lean but well-balanced with ripe fruit and a solid acidity that holds everything together. This is classic Finger Lakes Cab Franc and it’s delicious.
