Pride Mountain 2006 Cabernet Franc (Sonoma County)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: Pride Mountain / Sonoma County

This is one of the few Cab Francs in California that works on its own. It’s really a gorgeous wine, showing the full-bodied firmness of Cabernet Sauvignon, but without the tannic weight and density. The flavors veer toward scrumptious red cherries, red currants, milk chocolate and anise, with a dry, complex finish. Lovely with a fine grilled steak and rosemary new potatoes.
