I really enjoyed the 2008 so, when I was in Traverse City I
had the opportunity to pick up some bottles of the 2010 and 2011 Cab
Franc.
Appearance: crimson with shiny ruby highlights
Aroma: blackberry, black plum, light-moderate wood,
Right after opening:
Flavors: delicate floral on the tip of the tongue followed
by light earth, firm blackberry, a pomegranate raspberry note, a hint of floral
late on the palate, light-moderate oak
Mouthfeel: thin in spots, earthy dark berries swirl on the
tongue, watery edge on the mid and back, slight oaky spice on the finish,
moderate acidity,
My Strength Rating: 5/4.5 - medium body
To the Point: not even close to the 08. The mouthfeel on the 08 was thick and jammy,
how I like my Cab Franc to be. This is
on the thin side.
