Absolutely delicious Cabernet Franc. Rich, round fruit - one bottle's not enough.

Cab Franc is one of my favorite varietals, and this is an excellent example of a consistent, "go to" wine on a regular basis. The farm staff are great as well. Order this one by the case regularly too.

Wonderful mineral and black cherry nose with violets and cinnamon. Deep and intense. Lovely velvety texture in the mouth, great body and the intense fruit is rich and fulfilling. Lingering aftertaste. Lovely wine. Big, bold and demanding your attention.
