Tasting- Valerie Hill Cabernet Franc

Name: Valerie Hill Cabernet Franc

Variety: Cabernet Franc

Price: $28

Region: Virginia

Country: USA

Year: 2012

Description: Hints of vanilla and tobacco enhance the dark fruit aromas.  Flavors of dark cherry, ripe dark berries, currants, and a touch of cinnamon.

The flavors in this red were as active as the spirits allegedly are in this haunted 1807 home; pepper, oak, tobacco and BOLD spice were all clearly present in this tannic red. I also detected whispers of cinnamon at the finish.
