Originally planted in 1973, the Cold Creek vineyard is south facing, dry and warm site. I've never previously tried their stand alone Cabernet Franc, but this one impresses. This wine opens with aromas of blueberry, blackberry and oak. There are flavors of blueberry, blackberry, prune and red cherry. Delicious and open style of wine that is hard to resist right now.
