Cigar box, Christmas spices, canned cherries. Bitter chocolate. Muddied. Tastes tired. Would have guessed it was from the 90s...

This Cabernet Franc tastes of tart red berries and is slightly thin in the mid-palate, though that is very typical of the 2011 vintage

Nice Cab Franc with good balance and a pleasant, long peppery finish. 2015 vintage was a good year in Virginia.
