The Bloomers planted this Cabernet Franc parcel in 2015 on a steep, rocky hillside. The Barrow bottling undergoes the same cellar protocol as the Morehouse Road Cab Franc - fermented with partial whole-clusters and matured in old oak barrels for 11 months before bottling. The 2021 vintage produced a fresh and bright style of Cabernet Franc. VEGAN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKim Engle and Debra Bermingham of Bloomer Creek began purchasing land and planting grapes in the early 1980's, eventually establishing their estate Bloomer Creek Vineyard in 1999 from 10 acres with two different vineyard designations - Auten Vineyard and Morehouse Road - planted on the west side of Cayuga Lake. In 2012, Barrow Vineyard was added to Bloomer Creek when Kim and Debra purchased an abandoned vineyard site on the east side of Seneca Lake, one mile from their production cellar in Hector, NY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Bloomers' meticulously farm their sites using organic methods - employing no herbicides or irrigation in the vineyard. The fruit is hand-harvested, and only native yeasts are used for fermentation, often utilizing whole clusters, extended lees aging, and allowing fermentations to progress at their own rate without using temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBloomer Creek has always carved their own path and the results are wonderful. Their wines are incredibly distinctive, age-worthy and expressive of the place and time in which they were produced. That place is the Finger Lakes, and Bloomer Creek may be the single most unique, and compelling voice in town. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2023 was the last vintage from Bloomer Creek, as they recently retired! This is some of the last remaining wine available from them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bowler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50917560320252,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.winetroy.com\/products\/bloomer-creek-cabernet-franc-barrow-road-vineyard-2021","provider":"Troy Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
