White Cottage 2005 Cabernet Franc (Howell Mountain)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: White Cottage / Howell Mountain

Very beautiful red wine. Not too many Cab Francs are coming off this mountain. It’s lighter in body, and more cherried, than your standard Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, but shows the same tough tannins. Yet it’s not an ager. Drink now–2010, with steak or lamb, and decant.
