title: Shady Lane 2012 Estate Franc 'n' Franc Red (Leelanau Peninsula)
description: A blend of 57% Cabernet Franc, 26% Blaufränkish and 17% Merlot, this estate wine is overtly floral on the nose, with violet and earthy geranium on a bed of red berries. The palate is racy and lithe from pulsing acidity, yet flavors of juicy blueberry and red currant prevail and ultimately the grippy tannins balance it out.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Estate Franc 'n' Franc
