Country: US / Marcellini Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: Von Strasser / Diamond Mountain District
This lovely Cab Franc offers a softer, gentler version of Von Strasser’s Cabernet Sauvignons. It shows the same dense mountain tannins and dryness, but is comprised of red cherry, red currant and violet flavors, in addition to the sweet smoky oak. Best now, with decanting, and through 2011.
