2018 Mounts Cabernet Franc Estate
Tasting Notes
Generous aromas of sweet red pepper, spice, and violets. Flavors follow with hints of candied jalapeño, red cherry, streaks of leather, and delicate floral and woodsy notes. The textural sensation is fleshy and fills the mouth with rich flavor and a lingering finish.Vineyard Designation
