2005 Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc as a varietal often goes unrecognized on its own due to
its popular use in blended wines. But Dimitri Tchelistcheff, our
Winemaker Consultant, considers our Cabernet Franc to be one of the best
wines he produces; which makes it no surprise that this varietal is one
of our most sought after. The Jarvis 2005 Cabernet Franc has a deep
lavender brilliance in the glass which adds to the delight of the
drinking experience. Eighteen months of barrel aging in new French Haute
Futaie oak adds a hint of toasty vanilla to the lavender and cassis
aromas of this wine. A delightful combination of spicy blueberry and
black cherry flavors linger elegantly throughout the finish. This wine
has been cave aged and was released when our winemaker felt it was ready
for full enjoyment. Best to consume within ten years. Tasting Notes
