title: Catharine Valley 2005 Reserve Cabernet Franc (Finger Lakes)
description: Charming aromas of tobacco leaf and strawberries promise good things to come but the palate does not follow through. While some boysenberry flavors appeal, the wine is thin in the mouth. The tannins are a bit overly gripping now but the wine does not have the fruit ripeness or concentration to benefit from cellaring.
variety: Cabernet Franc
designation: Reserve
