Fulkerson Winery | Cabernet Franc - NV

Subdued aromas of dark cherry and cranberry start off on the nose, with racy pepper and graphite lifting it up. The medium-bodied palate offers a sour cherry flavor that's dotted with sweet and savory spices

Producer Information

In 1805, the same year Lewis & Clark set out on their expedition to explore the west, Caleb Fulkerson journeyed north from a settlement in New Jersey in search of fertile farmland. He staked out a piece of land on the western slopes of Seneca Lake. To mark his claim, he stuck his walking stick, a black willow branch, into a spring on the land. The branch took root and over the years grew into a great tree. He used the wood from that tree to make coffins for himself and his wife Deborah, and they’re buried in the small family plot on the hill behind this location. Caleb’s son Samuel inherited the farm in 1840 and built the farmhouse that stands on the property today. Samuel died at the age of 43, leaving behind his wife Jane and seven young children. Jane never remarried, but she held the farm and kept her six sons out of the Civil War. Steven Fulkerson represents the 7th generation of Fulkersons to work this land, and the 2nd to produce our signature Seneca Lake wine. He graduated from Cornell University in 2007 with a degree in viticulture and oenology (grape-growing and winemaking) and has been General Manager since 2015. Steven and his wife Regina are proud parents to the 8th generation, Sarah Fulkerson, born October 2018.
