Tasting - Hume Cabernet Franc

Name: Hume Cabernet Franc
Variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
Region: USA
Country: Virginia
Year: 2011
Price: $23

Winery Review: A pliant, lively wine to pair with roasted chicken or grilled salmon, this bears a forward note of red cherry, plus touches of cassis, char, herb and vanilla that add dimension. It's light to medium bodied, with fine, dusty tannins and fresh acids.


My Review:
This was a nice entry for Cab Franc. This had a big nose filled with spice and berries. The taste was spicier than previous Cab Francs that I’ve had. I also got hints of raspberry and black pepper on the palate. It was a solid wine.
