This wine is the 2008 Barboursville Virginia Cabernet Franc Reserve. This comes from the Barboursville Vineyards Barboursville, Virginia.

On the nose there is nkack cherry, blackberry, black plum sauce, licorice, leather, cocoa, pencil shavings, dark underbrush and rich earth.

On the palate there is cherry, raspberry, mint, pepper, baking spice, licorice, red currant, cedar, leather, gravel and forest floor.

This is a full bodied wine with a silky smooth mouthfeel medium+ acidity and medium + smooth fine tannins that moves easily into a long red black fruit pencil shavings finish. This weekend looks to be a fine one. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

This was surprisingly developed and dry with integrated tannins - a treat

Fine example of a Virginia Cab Franc. Drank great right out of the bottle without decanting. Plenty of fruit still present and nice balance. Was wonderful with grilled chicken marsala.
