Rob Roy Red

Structured and deep. Cherry, strawberry jam, dried leaves/forest floor, tea.  Seductive tannins. Beautiful even in its youth. 

This blend is complex, elegant, and deep. It’s very youthful at the moment and hasn’t fully settled into its full potential. It is medium bodied with pleasant acidity. Aromatically, it is fresh fruit forward along with aromas of graphite/mineral, cedar, blueberry, and vanilla. These follow through on the palate, along with flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and raspberry. Fine tannins lead to a warm, lingering finish. Serve with fine steak cuts pan-seared with fresh rosemary-thyme butter or grilled coho salmon.

50% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot. Each varietal shines, yet the blend overshadows any of the three on their own.  Complex, elegant, approachable yet fantastic aging potential.

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot all grown on the McGregor Vineyard estate.

Aromatically, this wine is reminiscent of blackberry, ripe cherries and plums, and has an earthy side filled with leather, smokiness, and graphite. It is medium bodied on the palate and its flavors tilt toward red fruit (cherry and raspberry), smoke, tobacco and a touch of anise. Grippy, fine tannins linger on the tongue with a very subtle background oaky character.

This blend is our homage to the exquisite wines of Bordeaux but we craft the blend with the Finger Lakes in mind. Every vintage of Rob Roy Red utilizes Cabernet Franc as the workhorse of the blend since this is clearly one of the most promising red wine grapes we grow in this region. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot provide the background and nuanced complexity.
