Winery Review: "Virginia - Dark garnet core, brilliant clarity in the glass. Intense, effusively luscious flavors of ripe red berries with caramelized notes of fig, cherry, and plum, elegantly woven together in barrel. Long-finishing with a remarkably soft palate." - totalwine.com
Wine Folly: The cabernet franc on page 86 had raspberry, strawberry, and bell pepper. I picked up the vanilla that seems typical, as well as some of the dark berry like raspberry. I could not differentiate strawberry though, and I did not recognize any bell pepper.
My Review: This wine was not very strong in any one flavor area. It was kind of dry, tasted of dark berry, smelled like vanilla, not a whole lot that seemed to separate it from any of the other red wines we have had. After our wine dinner, it feels like this one in particular would be much better with food to pair with the dryness. Not my favorite, but not one I disliked in particular either.
