This wine ranks in my top 5 Cabernet Francs of 2010 … The nose is delightfully red fruit dominated: raspberry, strawberry and red currant with a lovely red licorice bit of whimsy thrown in. The palate sticks to the Cabernet Franc playbook with black raspberry and tobacco then tosses in strawberry, red currant and a pleasant bit of spiciness … but the coup de gras here the strawberry rolled in cocoa finish. Simply irresistible. Price; $40.00 – Rating: **** ½
