2021 Shenandoah Valley Cabernet Franc
2021 Shenandoah Valley Cabernet Franc
91- James Suckling
This Cabernet Franc skillfully balances subtlety with complexity, offering a bouquet of red and black fruits interlaced with hints of rosemary, forest mushrooms, and black pepper. On the palate, the intricate dance of fruit and savory notes continues, enriched by ripe, persistent tannins and subtle acidity. While the flavors are definitely Cabernet Franc, this texture is reminiscent of Pinot Noir, and you can see why we believe this grape does best as a varietal wine when it is unencumbered by new oak and long aging. The result is a wine that is both graceful in stature and compelling in detail, walking a fine line between subtlety and complexity.
