2014 Bedell Cabernet Franc

My husband purchased this 2014 Bedell Cabernet Franc from our local package store. Bedell Cellars is located on Long Island founded by Kip and Susan Bedell in 1980. Since Long Island is just across the Long Island Sound from us and since we are now trying our hand at growing Cabernet Franc, we were interested in tasting the Long Island expression of Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Franc is used as a blending grape in Bordeaux, but it can be very interesting as a wine on its own merit. We always refer back to the stainless steel fermented Cabernet Franc that we tasted in Ontario many years ago that was so perfumey and sublime, we thought it was Pinot Noir.
This 2014 Bedell Cabernet Franc does not disappoint. It has a medium body with a healthy extraction of color, a nice hint of fruit, tannins that have been tamed and some acids that work well with a meal of wild meat with a topping of cheese.
