Wolffer Estate Vineyard Long Island Cabernet Franc 2023 CAVA The Merlot in the blendDark red brick in color. The aroma is filled with fine sandalwood, prunes, ripe blueberries and hints of liquorice. The mouth feel is elegant but firm and there is a nice round fruit component that is wonderfully balanced by great minerality, fine toasted oak and layers of ripe tannins.
