2022 Cabernet Franc
The density of our 2022 Cabernet Franc asserts itself from the start. Profuse aromas of cigar box, raspberry and rosemary create a layered complexity that is quintessentially cabernet franc. This savory balance of herb, earth, and fruit acts sets the stage for nuanced notes of white pepper, mint and violet. The flavors carry through to the palate and are supported by a velvety tannin structure that provides lift and vigor. The result is an elegant example of why cabernet franc has such a devoted following among the many longtime supporters of Pride Mountain Vineyards. We suggest you hide a few of these toward the back of your cellar as this wine will only get more enticing as the more subtle flavors come to forefront.
