{"product_id":"apollos-praise-cabernet-franc-reserve-lahoma-vyd-2024","title":"Apollo's Praise, Cabernet Franc 'Reserve - Lahoma Vyd', 2024","description":"This is Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc from a winemaker who knew the vineyard before he owned it. Kelby James Russell bought fruit from Lahoma Vineyard on Seneca Lake while he was at Red Newt, and in 2023 he and Julia Rose Hoyle bought the vineyard itself. This Reserve bottling is Cab Franc from their own estate. Both are first-generation farmers, so buying a vineyard of their own was a real leap. Lahoma has a lot of sandstone, and the whole Apollo's Praise project centers on Riesling and Cabernet Franc made as site-specific Seneca Lake wines. They take the red seriously: they describe it as Finger Lakes Cab Franc with a side trip to Piedmont. In practice that means handling the fruit roughly, then fermenting and aging it in a large oak tank. If you've wondered whether the Finger Lakes can make red as convincingly as Riesling, this is a good bottle to answer the question.","brand":"Skurnik [MSK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50787140665401,"sku":"NYC-W-MSK-`US-APO-41-24`-101426-9","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5092.jpg?v=1792177385","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/apollos-praise-cabernet-franc-reserve-lahoma-vyd-2024","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
