“Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t typically thrive in cool-climate regions. That’s why it’s so impressive that Constantia coaxes out such a deep expression of the variety in the Finger Lakes. The grapes are sourced from a high-density vineyard on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake on calcareous soils. The nose is subtle with dried wild berry aromas, but the palate is all about texture. The tannins are soft yet present and the depth is just right. It’s a structural success.”
