Cabernet Franc – 2008; Georgetown Winery; Georgetown, Texas
Before there was Cabernet
Sauvignon, there was a grape called Cabernet Franc. This parent grape has much
to offer than just a blending varietal. Besides its taste and texture, Cabernet
Franc ages damn well! This holds true for this wine created by Georgetown
Winery. Conceived in 2008, the tannins are still quite strong with
that mouth puckering feel. It’s very dry with some heavy
smokiness. This well aged wine doesn’t have quite the spicy notes
that once enticed in its earlier years, but there are still pepper notes that
linger. With higher than normal acids, you will know a) it will continue
to age well and b) pair nicely with a fantastic fatty dish! Enjoy this one well
and give some love to Cab Franc!
