Tasting Notes: With aromas of cherry, red currant, subtle cedar, and rich spicy oak, our ’08 Cab Franc wins you over before you’ve even taken a sip. The creamy entry flows into lovely mocha notes that intertwine with chewy tannins mid-palate. Hints of juicy cherry and currant mesh with cedar and vanillin oak as they linger on the palate. Even though this wine is a good cellar candidate, it can also be enjoyed now, especially if decanted an hour or so.

Try with coffee-marinated rib eye steaks or pork chops served with creamy garlic mashed potatoes, or bruschetta with fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic.
