This reserve Cabernet Franc is rich, round, and creamy. It is fruit-forward and exhibits all the confidence that a well-crafted Cabernet Franc should. The juicy mouth complements the full body feel with blackberry, currant, plum, and boysenberry notes. Unlike so many Cabernet Francs, there is not a hint of pyrazine but instead a hint of white pepper on the finish. It is dense, round, and full on the palate leading to a soft rounded finish. This Cabernet Franc is a stunning example of a wine that is well crafted and a true reflection of the care the fruit received from the vineyard crew during the growing season. Pair this wine with a wide variety of grilled and roasted meats – foods spiced with rosemary and thyme will bring out the brightness in the wine. In the winter, a rich stew, shepherd’s, or pot pie. Cellar this wine if you like. It will gain grace over the next ten years. Drink it now and enjoy.
