Clay Pigeon Winery 2015 Cabernet Franc

Clay Pigeon Winery 2015 Cabernet Franc


This is a light bodied Cabernet Franc that shows nice restraint, bright acidity and moderate tannins. A little sharp edged when first opened, a little airtime brings this wine together, revealing a firm structure, bright fruit, nice complexity and a lingering finish. It shows aromas of strawberry jam mixed with sweet tobacco and new shoe leather. On the palate, it's bright upfront with flavors of tart pie cherries that give way to notes of cola, tea and dried herbs with a touch of bell pepper and pencil lead on the finish.
