Howell Mountain Vineyards 2017 Cabernet Franc

A whiff of slightly briny sea air opens on the nose of this Howell Mountain Vineyards Cab Franc, carrying exotic floral and spice notes along with espresso and dark plum and berries. Intense, mouth-watering spiced berry and cherry flavors follow, with elegant density and fine tannins lingering into a very long finish with an appealing savory edge at the end. (Schneider, 2022)
