Aromas of bramble fruit, herbs, flowers and spice. Medium-bodied with firm tannins, black fruit and cherry flavors. 99% Cabernet Franc, 1% Merlot.

Try Paumanok Cabernet Franc with roast chicken, duck, game birds, hamburgers, meatloaf, pizza, sausage, hearty fish dishes and goat or cheddar cheese. For vegetarian options try grilled vegetables such as cabbage, bell peppers, and eggplant (try it with baba ghannouj) or zucchini. In general, it pairs particularly well with herbs like rosemary, sage, thyme or saffron.

“The 2022 Cabernet Franc from Paumanok features pretty leafy and floral nuances and black cherries on a harmonious and expressive nose. In the mouth, it's medium-bodied and silky, not a huge wine but concentrated, softly tannic, long and mouthwatering on the finish. It's aged in oak, but older barrels, with a dash (1%) of Merlot.” - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 90 points - April 17, 2025
