Fox Run Winery
For Peter Bell, Fox Run’s veteran winemaker, winemaking should be approached with a deceptively simple maxim: to ‘chase deliciousness’. No matter what style of wine is being produced, Bell emphasizes that each step in the process should be aimed at making the wine increasingly delicious. That may involve leaving a wine alone for a period of time (as with barrel-fermented Chardonnay resting on its lees) or intervening on an almost daily basis (as when a 5-component bottling of Riesling needs its final blending).
It is the approach pursued by many great European and New World domains. After hand-harvesting of the grapes at their maximum maturity and sorting, handling is kept to a minimum. After pressing, wines are filtered as little as possible to allow for the true character of each grape variety to shine through. Quality is coaxed, not wrestled, out of the grapes.
Tasting Notes For Cabernet Franc, 2016
Aromas of red raspberry and plums are augmented by spice and black olive notes. Bright and lively in the mouth with sweet fruit flavors and very fine-grained tannins.
Fox Run Cabernet Franc, presents, most prominently, deep base aromas of raspberry, coffee and dark chocolate. Thyme, violet and smoke add top notes and dimension. In the mouth, this wine is fresh, soft, and satiny with abundant cherry and raspberry flavors. Notes of licorice, wood smoke and bay leaf add complexity to the bright fruit components. Fox Run Winery is situated high on Torrey Ridge, overlooking one of the deepest parts of Seneca Lake. It offers over fifty-five acres of vineyards, producing a remarkable range of fine wines. Fox Run is poised to become one of a handful of truly great producers in the Finger Lakes.
