New York Cork Report

  • By Lenn Thompson
    4/14/2009, (See more on New York Cork Report...) 3 out of 5 stars

    (Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars Cabernet Franc T23) Makes a strong case for the no-oak style. The nose is bright with tart cherries blackberries up front and layers of violets, lavender, thyme and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, it's fresh and light-to-medium bodied with black cherry and blackberry fruit that is slightly juicy. The herb notes carry over, with light tannins and food-friendly acidity giving the wine just enough structure. the finish is medium-short, but features a nice spice note. For $15, this is the kind of cabernet franc that I'd make my house wine. It should be versatile at the dinner table, and it's a good example of how a wine doesn't need to be big and hulking (or oaked) to be delicious.
