2013 Sheldrake Points Cabernet Franc Ice Wine Finger Lakes

Winemaker Notes

The nose is rich with aromas of ripe red berries, dried cherries, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it offers a luscious sweetness balanced by bright acidity. You'll find flavors of strawberry jam, raspberry, and a touch of honey. The wine has a smooth, velvety texture with a full-bodied mouthfeel.

About Winery

Sheldrake Point Winery is located on the western shore of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The land was originally used as an orchard and dairy farm from 1850 to the mid-1980s. In 1997, a group of wine enthusiasts purchased the 155-acre lakeshore farm and founded the winery. Today, Sheldrake Point Winery has 57 acres of vineyard planted with ten different vitis vinifera varieties. They produce approximately 8,500 cases of estate-grown, produced, and bottled table and ice wines each year. The winery has received numerous accolades, including being named New York State Winery of the Year twice and being listed among the Top 100 Wineries by Wine & Spirits magazine in three different years
