Silver Thread 2011 Blackbird Red (Finger Lakes)

Country: US / Blackbird
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend New York
Winery: Silver Thread / Finger Lakes

Leafy, brambly notes are prominent against a backdrop of lean red-cherry flavors on this tart, Cabernet Franc-dominant blend. It’s a vibrantly acidic but delicately structured wine with soft, rippling tannins on the finish.
