Three Trees Vineyard’s Folk Singer
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | April 5, 2025
Three Trees Vineyard in Suttons Bay is all about cultivating harmony—in their low-intervention wine varietals, in the land, and in the local community—and they’ve hit a true high note in the 2021 vintage of their signature Folk Singer Cabernet Franc. Featuring all estate-grown grapes, this sip was fermented for 24 months under concrete (this develops complexity while retaining the fruit’s natural expression) before receiving just a kiss of French oak. The result is a balanced, medium-bodied wine with velvety tannins, an herbal nose, and notes of brambleberries and black pepper. Savor a glass, and while you’re at it, don’t skimp on the artisan bread and cheese. Get your hands on a bottle ($55) and a selection of other hand-crafted wines at Three Trees Vineyard in Suttons Bay (5200 Elm Valley Rd.). threetreesvineyard.com
