Atlast, a wine that has been named for people like me!  Once it decides to get into the glass it is a vibrant ruby with purple highlights.  The nose resounds with fresh fragrant blackberries, dark cherries with just a touch of toast leading into rich berry fruit flavours.  While no slouch in the alcohol department either, this Cab Franc is rich, and well balanced.

Date: 3rd July 2009   Price: $20   Value: $$$     Drink: 5 years
