Tasting - WhiteBarrel Cabernet Franc

Name: WhiteBarrel Cabernet Franc
Variety: 100% Cabernet Franc
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: $20

Winery Review: This is a smooth and smoky Cabernet franc, which provides pepper, smoke, blackberry, and currant. 12.5% alcohol, 0% residual sugar.


My Review:
This wine has some big aromas. The smoke and spice came through right away along with hints of black fruit. The wine was dry and tannic on the palate with hints of blackberries and boysenberry. There is a spice component present throughout. It finished short but pretty smooth. This was similar to BIN #214 but turned up a few notches. It was enjoyable but a little much. This wine would benefit from some decanting for a bit.
