title: Ahlgren 2005 Bates' Ranch Cabernet Franc (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: This Cab Franc is considerably lighter in body than a Cabernet Sauvignon. Its silky texture frames red cherry, red currant, red licorice, cola and sandalwood flavors that finish very dry. It's a lovely wine of some charm, but give it a decant before serving.
variety: Cabernet Franc
designation: Bates' Ranch
