NEW VINTAGE! The Osmote family is Ben, Brittnie, and their daughter Mia, plus all the friends and family who have helped them along the way. Ben was born in the Finger Lakes, travelled the world over, and has returned home to plant his roots (pun intended). He now lives on the southern end of Seneca Lake. Ben takes a relaxed approach in the winery. It’s not laziness or a recklessly cavalier attitude towards the craft, but instead his conviction in the potential of the Finger Lakes terroir. He has worked around the globe in France, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and California, collecting insights abroad, all to understand the unique greatness of these New York Finger Lakes.

The 2021 Cabernet Franc is a masterclass is purity of fruit, with a big burst of fresh berries on the midpalate. The cool climate on full display here with wonderful acidity and freshness, finishing with a dash of baking spice and chili.
