Wolffer Estate 'Caya' Cabernet Franc 2016
Wölffer Estate, an American Winery in the Classic European Tradition in Sagaponack, New York: Here, in the heart of the Hamptons, a collection of quaint villages stretched like a string of pearls on the shores of the Atlantic, is Wölffer Estate, a winery like none other on the east end of Long Island.
Owned by Hamburg-born Christian Wölffer, the 55-acre winery, located between Southampton to the west and Easthampton to the east, is at once an American winery but with a decidedly European character, both in its spirit and its wines. The winery currently produces 13,000 cases annually.
Nose: There are the typical olives and bell peppers, particularly on the nose.
Palate: The texture is sensual, mingling silk and velvet. It has a fresh feel, most importantly. The big finish is juicy and fruit-driven, for all of this wine's emphasis on structure.
Finish: This wine is built to age, whilst It is approachable now , it will happily age for a further 3-5 years.
