New Jersey Wine Trail - Alba Vineyard (Finesville, New Jersey): It is Cabernet Franc by not labeled as such. No idea why. Dark plum color. Smells of black cherry. Palate tastes of cedar and dark berry. Very well balanced with drying tannins in a medium plus finish. I like this wine and I like CF which NJ seems to do fairly well in the hands of a good winemaker.

Surprisingly strong showing from this wine. Great flavors of oak and vanilla. Great value for this wine that is really starting to open up now.
