2020 Matthews Reserve Cabernet Franc
"The 2020 Reserve Cabernet Franc shows vibrant purple to dark crimson in the glass and elicits aromas of red and black plum, confectioners chocolate, mulberry, bay leaf and vanilla bean paste. On the palate, crushed gravel notes mingle with dark roasted coffee, sweet kirsch, and classic Cabernet Franc notes of bilberry and green tea. Grippy tannins coat the weighty mid-palate and offer a long, textural finish. Intense lingering flavors of bright cherry and chocolate coffee bean." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor
