Heumann Winery, Villany (Hungary) Cabernet Franc 2016

 Winemakers in Villány are eager to prove that their region is the new home of high-quality Cabernet Franc (move over Bordeaux and Loire Valley).  The 2016 Heumann Hungarian Cabernet Franc certainly helps make that case.  The 2016 Villányi Franc is opulent with a rich nose of prune, cassis, and dark plums.  The palate is expansive, with abundant ripe black and blue fruits balanced by minty freshness.  This will undoubtedly provide increased pleasure as it tacks on age and is a savvy investment for your cellar at this price point.
