We drank this wine last night with stuffed shells and finished the bottle later that same night after the kids were in bed. It was our first 100% Cab Franc, and we really enjoyed it. It wasn't nearly as fruit forward as most of the reds we end up drinking, but I still picked up on some raspberries with a peppery, spicy undertone. It had a nice, medium body with soft tannins.
We bought this wine based on the recommendation of the owner of a local wine store in Richmond during our recent trip to Virginia, where we visited my brother and his family. I'll probably write a separate post about our trip to Virginia and Kentucky as soon as I get settled back into a routine here at home. We had a great time and picked up a handful of wines from both states.
