A well made Cabernet Franc is worth its weight in gold and I know that Charlie Pillitteri would agree with me (we've had that conversation with him) ... this Franc hits all the right notes. The nose delivers the stereo-typical Franc aromas of raspberry, tobacco and smoke (from the barrel). The palate ramps up what you've had on the nose and like a special edition DVD adds bonus features: raspberry-strawberry, tobacco and smoke, cedar and spice with just the right amount of kick. The finish is lengthy and laced with red fruits. Price: $20.00 - Rating: ****
