Select Lots Cabernet Franc 2013

9.2

Bought 2 bottles of this single varietal Cabernet Franc 6 years ago at Perseus Winery. At the time of purchase I was specifically told not to open either bottle for at least 7 years. So here we are in 2020, and first bottle opened tonight and decanted for over 2 hours. On the nose, dark berries, graphite/pencil, leathery muskiness. On the palate, dominant notes of dark cherries, raspberries, and dark chocolate, graphite. On the back of the palate the moderate tannins have aged elegantly. There is some mild white pepper notes with black liquorice and herbaceous. However, as the hours passed the tannins softened and subsequently complemented the dark fruit and chocolate notes to a higher degree. Overall, this was worth the wait. A delicious and excellently crafted wine that still may not be at its peak. Will cellar the 2nd bottle for another 2 years. Served with another round of Filet Mignon, traditional Caesar salad and portabello mushroom. Cheers! — 4 years ago

Delicious! Rich, strong chocolate and cloves, warm on the palate but not overly tannic. Love this wine, and very affordable. Would like to try with cheese or a good food pairing for maximum enjoyment. Definitely buy again. — 7 years ago

My write up was unfortunately deleted while submitting the wine as it was initially unidentifiable. In summary, it’s big and bold with luscious plums, dark cherry, and blueberries. Very well integrated but dominant leather, tobacco, black pepper and anise. This well age beautifully over the next 5-10 years. It’s ready to drink now, but patience is a virtue. — 5 years ago
