Growing
and making Cabernet Franc wine in the Texas Hill Country AVA is certainly an
accomplishment in of itself. This
vintage of Cabernet Franc is quite delightful. Yes, it will need a good 90
minutes or so to breathe, but what lovely aromas and flavors it has to offer
the wine sipper! Call this one “extra
dry” in the style. Those plum and strawberry notes balance out quite well. There
are cherry notes as well that are holding up nicely and the wine has a bit of earthiness
to it for added depth. Acids are medium and those tannins are still extra
firm. Find your favorite cheese or
roasted meal for this rare find. If you
still have any bottle lingering in your cellar, they are still fine to continue
to hold. Cheers!
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
