Tasting Notes
The 2021 Small Lot Cabernet Franc from Wente Vineyards is wonderfully layered with aromas of red cherry, baked cinnamon and molasses. Ripe red cherry continues to form the core of this wines flavor profile along with a touch of olive and warm vanilla oak into the finish. This medium bodied wine is polished and refined to such a degree that it is eminently attractive right now but should age and evolve beautifully for the next seven years
