Featherstone has long been one of the champions of value priced Cabernet Franc, they truly over deliver for the price you pay, and in 2012 they’ve done it again. A nice raspberry seam runs from beginning to end, meanwhile there’s delicate hints of tobacco on the palate along with touches of cherry and white pepper. At its core this wine is a lovely combination of complexity and juiciness. Still criminally under-priced, but I won’t tell them if you won’t. Price: $16.95 – Rating: ****
