Wine Review: This opaque and very dark ruby colored Cabernet Franc opens a boysenberry bouquet with a hint of new leather and black currant. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and juicy. The flavor profile is a pleasant black cherry and gentle black raspberry with nicely integrated cedar. The finish is dry and its flavors fade away nicely. This wine is rather tasty, but not overly complex. It is food friendly and would pair very nicely with a steak and mushroom sub. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: 2010 was truly an exceptional growing season on Cape Cod. This wine was hand-picked, fermented in open vats and aged in French oak barrels over 24 months. Intense flavors of dark fruit and cherry, with hints of leather and tobacco, rich and well-rounded with a rustic, earthy finish. Enjoy now, or cellar for a few years.
