Quaking Hills “Hidden Spring Vineyard” Cabernet Franc

The nose shows deep, dark fruits, perhaps mulberry, with tomato. Very bright acids are the first thing to notice on the palate. The flavor profile is a blend of red and black fruit, black currant and red currants. Tomato and tobacco show on the mid-palate. This is a food-friendly wine at a good price. Drink with pulled pork. Recommended. DH
