Tasting - Stanburn Winery Cabernet Franc

Name: Stanburn Winery Cabernet Franc
Variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $17

Winery Review: Contains 100% Cabernet Franc. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral barrels. Chocolate, cherries, strawberries, and violets on the nose. Smooth, spicy tannins and fruity mid-palate. Bright and lively, drink young. Pairs well with hard cheeses, grilled meats, herbed stews, and chocolate covered strawberries.


My Review:
The nose on this wine was full of spice with cherry and green pepper. The taste was similar with more spice and cherry coming through. It was an earthy, tannic Cab Franc. The finish was pretty smooth though. I thought this was a nice Cab Franc and thoroughly enjoyable.
