Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: Biltmore Estate / Dry Creek Valley
Considerably lighter in body and texture than your average Cab Franc, Biltmore’s 2009 has the weight of a nice Pinot Noir. But it’s intense in cherry, red plum and cedar flavors, with ultrafine tannins. Sophisticated and elegant, a wine to drink with upscale fare, especially with mushrooms.
