2024 Uniquity Red Blend: Finger Lakes / Cayuga Lake AVA - $32
ABV: 14.0%, pH: 3.44, TA: 7.4 g/L. RS: 0%
The fruit for this Bordeaux-style blend was sustainably farmed by Lake Road Vineyard on a West-facing slope on the Eastern shore of Cayuga Lake. Each variety was harvested at peak maturity and vinified separately. All lots were pressed off at dryness prior to blending. Aged nearly 14 months in once and twice used French oak barrels for structure and complexity.
This complex and age-worthy red blend offers subtle notes of dried red fruit and baking spices on the nose while layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and limestone carry through the mid-palate. juicy red fruit, vanilla and cedar are framed by ample acidity and integrated tannins on the balanced finish.
43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc, 24% Merlot.
