Colchester Ridge Estate Winery 2005 Cabernet Franc/Merlot   

Hits:1602
Rating:Nº votes
Date added;:09.Oct.2007
Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  In their first year CREW made a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend – this year they saved the Sauv for a standout solo bottling and instead blended the Franc with the Merlot … with more great results. The nose is fruit forward with some cinnamon added to the dark fruit and sweet beets. The taste is smooth and lush with black cherries and spice – light on tannins, so it’s an easy drinker, and well integrated with its wood, which it hung out in for 10 months.
