I love my Cabernet Franc and this 2013 Field Recordings Cabernet Franc from Paso Robles. The breakdown on this wine is 88% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Merlot.

On the nose is pleasant fruit notes of strawberry and red raspberry. There are also notes of roasted jalapeño and crushed gravel.

On the palate I find green bell pepper, nice herbal notes, red plum, strawberry, and baking spice.

The mouth feel is supple and full. Medium + Acidity more on the + side and Medium + sandy tannins with a nice long pleasing finish.

A very nice Cab Franc from Paso Robles that is pleasing all around. If you you are a fan of Cab Franc this would be one to look for at a reasonable price.

The nose says happy Thanksgiving. Bright clean attack. Rich in the middle with a long dark fruit finish. Great wine. Great packaging.

If you are searching for something unique and new, this wine is a great place to start. It has lots of strong components that you usually don't see. It has a very intense sparkling acidity and intense fruity sweetness. It does have an insanely tannic finish that is good, but quite ardent. Cab. Franc isn't the most balanced of varietals, but this is a very impressive expression of it.
