Community Tasting Notes 2

    July 15, 2012 - This is a delightfully fresh and balanced Cabernet Franc. I would have never guessed that it was from Georgia. It could easily be mistaken for a Chinon or Bourgueil. Ruby, medium intensity. The nose is clean, with raspberry aromas. The nose is developing. The palate is dry, with red fruit predominating. The acidity is medium plus. The alcohol is medium at 13%. The tannins, body, flavor intensity and length are medium. Drink now, not intended for ageing. Pairing well with a wide range of appetizers, this wine is reminiscent of a Pinot Noir.

    July 5, 2012 - This light-to-medium bodied table red has a nose of leather, smoky tobacco and strawberry. In the mouth, the wine begins fruit-forward and bright like a Pinot Noir, with a hint of pepper in the middle and a smooth easy finish. Tannins are more present in this wine than in the Rabun Red but it?s still not a huge red that I?d lay down for any length of time. http://50shadesofgrape.com/2012/07/05/pre-trip-tasting-tiger-mountain-cabernet-franc-2008/
