Our 2020 Cabernet Franc is one of my favorite reds of the 2020 vintage. It has all the niceties of a good Virginia Cabernet Franc coupled with the memories of a challenging vintage and collective year for everyone involved. This is a beautifully structured classic vintage Cabernet Franc.
The 2020 Claret is a blend that is modeled after the great wines from St-Emilion in Bordeaux, France. The result; a new world wine with old world charm. The blend uses three of the five classic Bordeaux varietals; Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
The dry palate is truly refreshing. Bold with minerality, hints of fresh strawberry and raspberry with a nice round weight on the long and clean finish.
Ripe Red and Black Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry hints of cassis and currant. The wine has a bright mouth feel with medium acidity and soft tannins to a beautifully balanced finish.
