In comparison to our other Cabernet Franc lieux-dits, Willow is a bit more nimble and sultry on the palate in the way it tickles the senses, moving in a calm and calculated manner.
Willow rests in the heart of 250 acres of grapes planted by five generations of the Wagner family. Along with the fascinating natural history of the Finger Lakes, we must not forget about the people that have brought this region to life, cultivating a community indebted to the hard work of these pioneers. Willow is among three distinct sites farmed by John Wagner that we work with consistently: Willow, Railroad, and Wagner Caywood East. John is a fourth generation grape-grower, and it was his father, Bill Wagner who was among the first wave of farmers to construct a winery when the Farm Winery Act of 1976 was passed. In the middle of an old horse pasture, he dug a subterranean wine cellar and expanded his varietally diverse vineyards. Without the ingenuity of native multi-generational farmers like the Wagners, we could not paint such a vivid narrative of Seneca Lake.
