April 17, 2009 - We followed the Tiger Mountain Norton with the Cab Franc. This also happens to be my first time tasting Cab Franc. Garnet purple with red brick color on the ring (same as the Norton; it looked just the same in the glass). This wine featured a nose of cherry, slight strawberry, floral notes, and a little spiciness. The spice really hits you on the palate with black pepper. You also get red fruit and a touch of vanilla. A short finish added some oak to the flavors you get on the palate. I thought this was a nice, balanced wine. A little bland, but it had an elegance to it. I thought the spice interacted nicely with the fruit on the palate, although most of the people who I drank this wine with felt the pepper was too overwhelming. Due to the $23/bottle price tag I probably wouldn't buy, but I definitely enjoyed it, and look forward to seeing how favorably it compares to Cab Franc from more traditional growing regions.
