This single-vineyard Cab Franc from the Finger Lakes starts with minor green notes. The veggies are more aggressive on the nose, not offputting. Then, it evolves into a controlled, olive flavor profile.

The light and bright demeanor (with a touch of tannin) mostly makes it lively, persistent and most of all--silky & surprisingly fresh with a juicy finish. It's on the thinner side, but it's beautifully balanced, a perfect food wine. 12.8%. $40-ish
