Behold,
presenting an exceptional and world class Cabernet Franc that is sure to
captivate any connoisseur with just one sip. Racing in at 15.4 abv, this Newsom
Vineyards sourced fruit from the Texas High Plains AVA comes across as very
well balanced for a high alcohol wine. At nearly nine years of age, it exhibits
a smooth profile with notes of raspberry and white pepper, accompanied by an
earthy quality and a hint of dark cherry. That “black stuff” you might see in the bottle
is just the tell tale sign of greatness at work. The wine has some great
acidity to it so make sure to bring some good fat to your protein feast. If other
Cab Francs haven’t been your thing, this one should win you over. Santé!
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.
