Yates Family Vineyards Cheval Mt. Veeder Cabernet Franc 2007
Yates Family Vineyards 'Cheval' Mt. Veeder Cabernet Franc 2007
Full bodied - forward black berry, black raspberry and spicy clove with a hint of cassis and dark chocolate with a lingering tannin flavorful finish.
Winemaker Tasting Notes - A deep, dark ruby appearance with hints of graphite and toast on the nose that finish with dry rocks and cigar tobacco. Strong flavors of espresso with small splashes of clove and cardamom. Dark chocolate covered cherries with cassis. Intense mountain fruit lingers on the palate and finished with supple tannins.
RM 91 points.
