About the Wine: Cab Franc is traditionally the third grape in red Bordeaux blends. More difficult to cultivate and not as bold as Cabernet Sauvignon, it is just now starting to come into its own as a single varietal in the American market.
About THIS Wine: The center is light purple with a violet rim. Dark fruit, especially plum defines the nose with pleasant herbal notes. The front palate is very light but the wine thickens in the mid palate for a very rich and layered experience. The finish is mildly dry with lingering green herbs.
Drinking This Wine: This would be good as a sipping wine but it would be better with steak.
Overall Impression: This wine is pricey but it is extremely good. At nineteen dollars a bottle it is reasonable for the price.
