Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Franc from Robert Foley opens with a potpourri packet and blueberry bouquet with hints of clay, cigar box, and clove. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, rich, concentrated and displays nice tension. The flavor profile is blueberry and stony minerality blend with notes of black tea and cedar. We also detected some hints of black licorice, black cherry, and dried herbs. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and polished tannins are nicely prolonged. The Tasting Panel would then pair this Cab Franc with a New York strip steak. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Dark ruby in color, this fully ripe Cabernet Franc steers away from green character and delivers aromas of ripe blueberry and a bouquet of roses. The youthful body is full with flavorful mid-palate grip and beautifully balanced natural acidity that resolves with very soft tannins in a lingering finish. Enjoy this wine now with the meal of your choice and rest assured bottle-aging for 10+ years will provide extended enjoyment.
