title: Raphael 2014 Reserve Cabernet Franc (North Fork of Long Island)
description: This stand-out Cabernet Franc offers the structure and savory nuance of the Old World, but alongside a palate that's lusciously concentrated with ripe, succulent black fruit. Whiffs of violet and tea leaf reverberate from nose to finish, along with a bold yet velvet frame of tannins. Drinks gorgeously already but should meld in fruit, spice and perfume throughout the next decade.
variety: Cabernet Franc
designation: Reserve
