title: Rappahannock Cellars 2010 Reserve Cabernet Franc (Virginia)
description: Raw pastry dough, blackberry jam and vanilla aromatics are offset by cigar box and leather notes. Compared to Rappahannock's nonreserve 2010 Cabernet Franc, this wine feels warmer due to its alcohol, which is more than 1% higher than the nonreserve bottling. The palate is chewy and muscular, with flavors of dried rose petal and espresso that surface late.
variety: Cabernet Franc
designation: Reserve
