Ômina Romana
Cabernet Franc
Lazio, Italy
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Strong spicy nose with light cedar, tobacco, chocolates and licorice.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, coffee, light cedar, cola, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and dried meat.
Tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc from Lazio, Italy. An interesting wine that feels more like a Right Bank Bordeaux.
This 11 year old is tasty right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Rich, yet elegant.
Would be nice to revisit it again in 3 years.
A good quality wine. Good by itself or with food.
100% Cabernet Franc grapes were aged in oak barrels for 20 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$100.

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. This week it's a nice Cabernet Franc from Italy.
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with blueberries, red currants, cherries, raspberries, wood, licorice, spices, milk chocolates, bitter herbs, light tobacco and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, sweet cherries, toasted vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs, spices, oak and black pepper.
Spicy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 5 year old Cab Franc is drinking very nicely now. Showing mild complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Good by itself, easy drinking and well-balanced.
Good right out of the bottle and gets more complexity as it opens up, around 30 minutes. I would love to revisit it in a couple of years.
I paired it with cheeses and olives, by the pool.
