Oldenburg Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2008

Name: Oldenburg Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2008
Brand: Oldenburg Vineyards
SKU: 23349

An inky, crimson colour with plenty of life. The nose brings forth ripe cherries, black currants and freshly picked herbs. Plush mocha and coffee flavours help create a rich, complex palate. Acid and tannins are well balance with no rough edges. A seamless wine with exceptional balance!

This wine can be enjoyed with a variety of meats but its spiciness and intensity could be well suited to game dishes.
