Bedell Cellars
Bedell Cellar (www.bedellcellars.com), the premiere winery on the North Fork of Long Island, announces that its 2008 Cabernet Franc has won "Best Red Wine" at the 2010 New York Wine & Food Classic, the preeminent New York wine competition. Bedell's Cabernet Franc topped 178 other New York-grown red wines (including 48 other Cabernet Francs) to take home the coveted prize. Bedell produced 195 cases of the Cabernet Franc, which was released to Bedell Wine Club members in May and to the general public in July 2010. The wine has 13.5 percent alcohol and exhibits a nose of lavender and cranberry to complement its juicy mouth feel, firm tannins, and flavors of cherry and fresh herbs. Bedell's CEO Trent Preszler stated, "We are thrilled our Cabernet Franc won this coveted award; it is a fantastic achievement considering how many other fine reds were in the competition. Since we only produced a small quantity of the wine, we will distribute the remaining inventory to our loyal wine club members and select restaurants in the New York metropolitan area. However, we will also make some available to the general public, too, both through our winery tasting room and on our website."
