Brengman Brothers 2013 Reserve Right Bank Crain Hill Vineyard Red (Leelanau Peninsula)

Country: US / Reserve Right Bank Crain Hill Vineyard
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Michigan
Winery: Brengman Brothers / Leelanau Peninsula

Blending 75% Cabernet Franc with 25% Merlot, this wine is mildly aromatic on the nose, showing red cherry, spice and violet. While the palate is medium in weight, a string of acidity cuts short the blackberry and cherry flavors. Grainy tannins build on the finish, with a shock of cranberry and vanilla marking the close.
