2007 Cabernet Franc Napa Valley
“Black cherries, plums and black pepper aromas are sandwiched in a wafer of mint chocolate. Racy berry flavors are cloaked in a creamy vanillin that provides a sweet texture to the abundant fruit. The flavors linger and suggest a thin dinner mint.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker
MORE ABOUT THIS WINE
- Price: $25
- Blend: 100% Cabernet Franc
- Vineyards: Dry winter led to an early bud break, and a warm rain free spring. Warm temperatures in mid-August hastened ripening temporarily. An unusually cool September and early October slowed maturation so that our Bordeaux varietals ripened steadily and slowly. The affects of the 2007 climate were balanced ripeness, natural acidity and mature, developed tannins.
