Swedish Hill Cabernet Franc

This 2004 Cabernet Franc is what I would consider the cream of the crop. This wine displays quintessential of Cab Franc, but elevates it with concentrated fruit, soft notes of oak, with a bit darker color than most Cab Francs of the Finger Lakes. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed this was an '02 or '03. Some may find a hint of butter and nuts, but it always ends with a delightful easy finish. It will stand up to grass fed beef, but nurtures lighter dishes. VERY GOOD.
