Detert Family Vineyards Oakville Cabernet Franc - 2004(W-2078)

Detert Family Vineyards Oakville Cabernet Franc
Fresh, Fruity Earthy Spicy

Tasting Note

Floral notes frame cassis, baking chocolate and slate aromas. Dense and rich, nearly chewy, showing flavors of cocoa powder, mineral, flint,... (more...) black cherry, currant and baking spices. Palate coating and delicious. The tannins are mouth coating and firm. Lingering flavors of mineral, baking chocolate and black currant. A very concentrated Cabernet Franc. This can be decanted and enjoyed young with a well marbled steak but will benefit from cellaring and should age effortlessly for a decade.

Dark fruit, cigar and leather on the nose. This wine has a ton going on--very complex. Blackberry, cassis and smooth with a nice grip. Absolutely delicious!
