Messina Hof 2007 Double Barrel Cabernet Franc (Texas)

Country: US / Double Barrel
Variety: Cabernet Franc Texas
Winery: Messina Hof / Texas

Serious and solid, this Cab Franc delivers the goods with a complex nose of vanilla, coconut and orange clove pomanders layered over coffee and bittersweet chocolate. There’s nice fruit in the mouth, with plum and blackberry shot through with notes of cinnamon. Medium, oaky finish. Serve with roast beef. Best 2011–2012.
