Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Definitely not your typical Cabernet Franc as this one is rich with great weight and complexities. A deep garnet colour that is opaque and deeply concentrated alludes to the extract and weight of the wine that is balanced on the nose between fruit and oak complexities. Black current, liquorice, tar, tobacco, cigar and rhubarb characters are consistent throughout the nose and palate. Medium bodied tannins allow the wine to drink well now and to age for 5 years. Delicate subtleties such as dark chocolate and smokiness add intricacy. Enjoy with red meats especially rack of lamb, farm raised game, sausage, grilled vegetables, and medium bodied cheeses.
