Macari - Lifeforce - Cabernet Franc - North Fork of Long Island, 2020 (750ml)

Medium garnet color. Aromas of red berry bramble, cherry cordial, ancho pepper, dried herbs, and tobacco leaf. Light body, bright acid, savory herbs, and layered fruit lead to a long finish.

Though Macari Vineyards was not established until 1995, the Macari family has owned the 500-acre waterfront farm for over 50 years. Joseph Macari Jr. is considered a pioneer in the movement towards natural farming on Long Island through his adoption of biodynamic principles since the vineyard’s first plantings. All grapes are strictly farmed without herbicide. Homemade compost is used as fertilizer and organic and biodynamic principles are weaved throughout the farming process.
