2 Plank Vineyards, Amador County (California) Cabernet Franc 2016

Jun 9, 2020

By Robert Whitley

 Cabernet Franc is probably best known for its sometimes green, herbal tinge.  Grown in a warm climate, however, those herbal notes fade away and are replaced with aromas of ripe red and black fruits.  The 2016 vintage from 2 Plank Vineyards is an excellent example.  A Platinum Award Winner at the 2020 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
