2013 ​Cabernet Franc

We have not made a Cabernet Franc since our inaugural 1997 vintage and, believe it or not, that wine still rocks while screaming right bank Bordeaux. This lovely rendition displays a garnet/purple color while highlighting botanical notes of violet, berries and gentle herb with a mellow hint of cocoa. Its soft, round mouthfeel escorts raspberry reduction, blackberry and plum with shavings of baker’s chocolate and an occasional background peak of caramel. This is an excellent accompaniment to pork, salmon with a brambly fruit/wine reduction or even turkey burgers.
