Alexander Cabernet Franc Reserve 2013

This wine shows a deep purple-ruby clarity, with a rich elegant aroma comprised from ripe red fruit, accompanied by berries and cherries and enveloped in quality tobacco with a background of green pepper. The wine is full-bodied and well balanced, with ripe tannins and a long finish.

There is a terrific balance between fruit and savory flavors, which include black currant, cherry, white chocolate, mint and jalapeño. Smooth tannins go on and on until they are finally punctuated by a bright cranberry note.
