2007 Modus Operandi Cellars Cabernet Franc 88 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
At first this wine was one, a little one dimensional, but it did pair really well with my Hop Infused Sweet Potato Mash.
The 'Sweetness' [Ripe Ripe Fruit] paired well with the Bitterness of the Hops
The Fairview Cellars Cab Franc beat this hands down
