Peninsula Cellars Merlot-Cabernet Franc 2007 Reserve


Peninsula Cellars
Old Mission Peninsula
Traverse City, Michigan, USA
$30.00 a bottle
13% abv
34% Cabernet Franc and 66% Merlot
2 ½ years barrel aged

The cork looks in a little ruff shape.  See the picture below.  I hope the wine is not corked. 

Appearance: rich crimson

Right after opening
Aroma: dark berries, earthy tones, oak

Flavors: dark berries, tart cranberry, earthy tones, oak

Mouthfeel: bit of an alcohol note, acidity a little strong, tannins are at work

Let me decant this wine for a half hour.

Didn’t change much.  Overall I found it uninteresting.
