Enjoyed a fun wine club meetup with winemaker Kirsty Harmon. Events like this are making social distancing tolerable.

2017 Cabernet Franc... decent Virginia red wine, lacks the length and deep oaky finish.

Opened up hot and has mellowed out after 30 min. Not a lot of tannin, surprisingly smooth for a CF. 👍🏻

Peppery, lots of cherry with a smooth finish. Probably should have waited a bit on this one, but figured it was appropriate to toast Mr. Matthews a happy 50th.

Concrete on the nose. Dark cherry, tartness and Pinot-sequel qualities on the palate.

Medium bodied for a cabernet franc. Nice pepper smell on the nose, not a whole lot of tannin on the palete. Wish it had a bit more body.
