I opened the bottle of Cabernet Franc the other week and what a find!! this wine had an aroma that jumped right out the class and after a swirl or too i was starting to think that this wine may be better than that very special bottle Cabernet Franc i received off Thud.
The body was medium to heavy with a very deep taste and very distinctive, it had a woody and berry aftertaste that lasted a few moments i would say that this wine has depth. In the glass the colour was dark and it clings with a red stain around the the glass, i had never seen this before. I am aware of being able to see the strength of alcohol but never for the wine to coat the glass in such a way. I am but a beginner in the fine wine department.
This wine really impressed me and although at first i was sure it would beat Thud's wine it just missed something, i could not put my finger on it, maybe its because the wine from Thud had more of a rustic feel i dont know therefore i bought another bottle and enjoyed it with Thud and his mother. Their reaction to the wine was pleasing and although it was good they too agree it missed something. However i think i will be taking it to Nappa to let Vinogirl have a taste and compare it to her very own.
I have started to look harder for good wines of late as i have simply got sick of the bland tastes that iv been use to over the past years. This is becoming more interesting as i find these little gems and even though i may spend a few pounds more it seems completely worth it.
This Cabernet Franc is a hard wine to find but if you do come across it splash out and grab a bottle it truly is worth it, a great wine.
