"DATE: 01-01-08 Appearance: Ruby.
Nose: Silky red currant, blackberry, raspberry, cherry, peppers, sweet oak and a herbal tone.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight. Palate follows the nose, adding vanilla, butter, chocolate and mineral character. This is quickly building into a complex wine. Silkiness midpalate, with a good long clean dry finish.
Conclusions: Early days for this precocious franc, which will probably hit its sixth birthday in fine fettle. Good with most foods, as cab franc normally is." lfw
FROM THE PRODUCERS:"This is a medium bodied red with a mouthful of raspberry-currant fruit. Vanilla, wood smoke and hint of earthy potato skin on the nose. Nice tannins with very good length. Approachable now should age through to 2015.
Pair with grilled meats, smoked gruyere or pizza."
