Description:
Introducing the newest offering from Sodaro Estate Winery, a 2004 Cabernet Franc. Brilliant ruby red in color, blossoming with aromas of ripe raspberries and plums succeeded by a toasty oak. Silky and soft on the palate, this wine exudes elegance and balance with a soft tannin presence and a long finish. A big wine from a little vineyard.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Franc:
Cabernet Franc is an accessible, spicy, herbal, dark blue grape variety that is often compared to Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Franc tends to be softer and has less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon, although the two can be difficult to distinguish. Sometimes the French refer to Cabernets, which could mean either of the two grapes. Its typical aromas include an herbaceous and pronounced peppery nose, even in ripe fruit, and something eerily like tobacco. The Cabernet Franc ripens at an earlier stage, which gives it reason to exist in the Bordeaux area. In the Loire, where we find it a lot, it gives a clear red fresh and fruity wine.
