Huff Estates Winery 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc

DescriptionDescription  This blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cab Franc is still pretty young – so it’ll need a little time to settle down and develop in the bottle to smooth out some of those fierce tannins and rough edges; but if you insist on trying it now, a good hour in a decanter will work wonders. Made from Niagara fruit, this wine showcases the winemaking skills of Huff’s winemaker Frederic Picard. A white pepper nose with plenty of spiciness, some red pepper and other herbaceous notes are also present. On the other hand, the taste is pure green pepper with cedar and spice … a short finish does not allow the drying tannins to linger long. This is a hearty wine that should age well for the next three or four years.
