2012 Cabernet Franc: 750 ml

PA- Lake Erie

Size: 750ml - Bottle

Our medium bodied Cabernet Franc presents deep base notes of raspberry, capsicum and mocha, which opens up to crushed herbs and cedar. A tight entry opens up to a mini explosion of fruit and spice in the mouth, with a lengthy floral finish.

Serve at cool room temperature with

roasted pork or vegetable lasagna dishes.
