The 2016 Katherine Corkrum Cabernet Franc smells and tastes just like a juicy Chinon from the Loire Valley. The wine starts with classic aromas of luxurious plummy notes on the nose, with a blackberry essence and undertones of fresh-cut green bell pepper. The medium to full-bodied wine shows a pleasing complexity on the palate, with classic core a dusty fruit and soft oak tones that could convert just about anyone to a Cabernet Franc lover. It ends with a long, bold, spicy finish with focused tannins. 458 cases produced.
