Wine Details
Price:
$40.00 per bottle
Description:
Friends and fellow Cab Franc aficionados have been waiting for this. Last years winner of the Lt. Governor's "Best of the Best" award and born in the stellar 2003 vintage, the Benchmark Cab Franc 2003 has been wowing barrel samplers since it was made. Cropped at one ton per acre (most vineyards crop at 4 tons per acre) and grown by the lake, the wine exhibits depth and complexity that reflects all the advantages of the vintage. Barrel aged in 70% new French oak, the wine developed soft ripe tannins and loads of sweet dark fruit. Chocolate notes extend the finish and coat the mouth with goodness. Only 316 cases made. Lay this wine down and fondle affectionately for 5 years, sampling occasionally.
