Swedish Hill, Cabernet Franc, Finger Lakes 2005

Vibrant red.

Vinturi - complex, integrated, refined nose - Bordeaux herbs, red licorice, spice, cran/cherry, earth, tar.

Intense, vibrant, lean entry. Sea salt/brine, herb, cranberry flavors. I see no oak (flavor) influence. Light-weight. This reminds me of Nebbiolo. Definitely acid-driven. Good length. Really good action.
