Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: Wow! The Cabernet Franc 2002 is a great rich one, with a tantalizing velvety ruby colour. Take a nose-dive and find aromas of black currants, licorice, dried fruit compote, and a "leafiness" that replicates the smell of sun-dried Cabernet franc leaves. Taste, and you may get hit with a big, fat, round sensation—this wine is full in the mouth with the licorice flavour evident. Prominent tannins and good acid give this wine a long, yummy finish! For those with patience, this is a wine that will cellar well for a few years.
