Dr. Frank Cabernet Franc 2008
VINIFICATION:
The Cabernet Franc grapes were crushed and destemmed into an open-top fermenter before yeast inoculation. The tank was punched down twice daily to extract the color and soft tannins found in the grape skins. The grapes were gently pressed, after dryness, before inoculation with malolactic bacteria. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the Cabernet Franc wine was racked, SO2 adjusted and transferred to barrels. The wine was aged 9 months in French and American oak barrels before fining and bottling.
DESCRIPTION:
The 2008 Cabernet Franc presents a nose of roasted red pepper and prune that lengthens with oaky and spicy tones. On the palate, this wine displays great elegance with soft tannins and a smooth long finish. Coming from an exceptionally hot summer this wine will benefit from decantering to reveal the depth of its character – serve with brisket and red sauce pasta dishes.
