Long Point Winery Cabernet Franc New York

This 2005 vintage Cabernet Franc has much fruit, but it is difficult to get around the tannins. Even after sitting in the glass for twenty minutes, the tannins just overpower the rest through the entire palate. The nose is reminiscent of a big juicy Syrah - a fruit bomb. I can imagine this wine being much better after 2 years in the cellar, and that tasting would probably reveal more. At about 13 bucks a bottle, and the potential this wine could have, I would cellar a couple bottles. CELLAR IT
