I am not a big fan of Cab Franc. It always tastes too much like green pepper. This particular Cab Franc was very different. The green pepper taste was there, but understated. Very much to my liking. This wine has a great nose and a nice long finish. I was very pleasantly surprised by this wine.
An amazing 2014 Cabernet Franc in my glass from Lori & Michael Budd of Dracaena Wines. Aromas of blackberry, lavender, white pepper and brown sugar caramel. Flavors of blackberries, herbes de Provence, vanilla, white pepper with a touch of roasted sweet peppers on the finish. Pleasant acidity, supple tannins and a lingering tapering finish.
