Peninsula Cellars 2010 Cabernet Franc
Peninsula Cellars
Old Mission Peninsula
Hog’s Back Vineyard & Ligon Vineyard
$25.00
13% abv
Appearance: a pretty crimson body with a ruby edge
Aroma just after opening: reminds me walking into a wine
room at a winery; nice aromatic berry bowl and a touch of spice
Aroma after allowed to breathe: blackberry, black plum,
black currant with a nice touch of spice.
The dark berry notes seemed to be a little more discernible after the
wine opened up.
Flavors: boysenberry, raspberry, currant, hint of earth, as
the wine opens a slight tart cranberry with a touch of toasted oak, light spice
probably coming from the oak, flavors come together well
Mouthfeel: mixed berries on the delivery and mid; light
spice on mid and finish; smooth – they use the word elegant on the bottle to
describe the mouthfeel;
My Strength Rating: 6 – just limping into the medium-full
range
To the Point: I like this Franc; I only bought one bottle – I’ll
have to get some more.
