Barrel Oak Winery, Virginia (United States) Cabernet Franc 2010

Mar 27, 2013

By Michael Franz

A highly expressive, varietally-true example of Cabernet Franc, this shows leafy, herbal aromas that are expressive but not distractingly so.  Medium-bodied but full of flavor, with excellent persistence in the finish that includes subtle nuances of graphite and minerals, this is a world class wine from Virginia.  Platinum award winner at the 2013 San Diego International Wine Competition.
