Rias 2024 Ros feels like summer on Seneca Lake, bottled. Hand-picked Cabernet Franc leads a vibrant field blend with Blaufrnkisch, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Native yeasts ferment the juice cold in stainless, locking in electric fruit and the regions signature slate-driven minerality. A short lees rest polishes texture without muting freshness, letting wild strawberry, grapefruit pith, and a hint of white pepper glide across silken acidity. No fining, filtering, or flashy oakjust pure Finger Lakes energy that drinks effortlessly on the dock or around a winter table. Chill generously, open happily, and watch conversation ripple like lake water at dusk.
