Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc Wine Details
Price: $36.00 per bottle

Description: Mongol hordes sweeping down on some innocent civilization or other would place goat flesh & dried berries in a leather sack which served as padding between rider & horse. Thus prepared, the contents tenderized by friction between the rider & the lathered heat of the horse would cook the noontime meals. Like Mongol stew, there’s a whole lot bouncing around in this Cab Franc: raspberry pastille, floral notes intertwined with camphor resin, musk & vanilla, pomegranate & a lingering juicy blueberry brightness. Not unexpectedly, this wine pairs quite nicely with roasted goat.
