Graeser Diamond Mountain District Estate Cabernet Franc 1990
Region: Diamond Mountain District, California
Winery: Graeser Winery
Variety: Cabernet Franc

Color: Still dark ruby with only a hint of sienna at the very edges

Nose: Wonderful cherry, ripe fruit nose that is incredibly bright for this old of a Franc, amazing. Floowed up with some raspberry underneath and other red fruit.

Palate: Now medium-bodied, this has wonderful acidity and still some tannin left that stands up beautifully to the bright red fruit in the mouth. What an enjoyable experience, proves that Cab Franc, when made properly, can stand up for the ages. Probably has 8-10 years left, at least!
