Love all of the detail about this vineyard’s microclimate… I spent 2018 living in a farmhouse just north of the Magdalena Vineyard. Red Tail Ridge planted their first Cabernet Franc vines near this site in 2017 and made their first vintage a couple years later. Have you tried it? Would love to get my hands on a bottle, but they don’t ship to my location …
Thank you for reading, Caroline! So glad you liked the maps too. 😁 That’s awesome that you got to spend a bit of time in the area. Red Tail Ridge is a terrific producer, and I was excited to learn that they made their first 100% Cab Franc in 2020, and I managed to find a couple bottles at a wine shop in Manhattan when I was there back in February. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m excited to! I will definitely report back when I do. Thanks again for reading and for your thoughtful comment!
That map is awesome!! Still need to get my hands on some Finger Lakes CF
They are definitely worth seeking out!
