Ironstone 2010 Reserve Cabernet Franc (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: Ironstone / Sierra Foothills

Combining rich cinnamon and clove aromas with ripe blackberry and nutmeg flavors and very firm tannins, this is a full-throttle red. A sense of concentration and focus marks the fruit notes, and all is framed by astringency that cleanses the palate. It will be best after 2016.
