Ravines Wine Cellars Cabernet Franc 2017 Review
This wine immediately grabs your senses. You cannot deny the aromas of walking through a forest in fall with crisp air and the comfy aroma of dead leaves and wet stone, it’s a bit dizzying. The fruit element is bramble-y, like picked berries from the forest. The palate has a subtle grip from very well integrated tannin that holds you close with a gentle release. You're basically drinking upstate New York in this bottle. It’s a great wine.
