Wine: Pride Mountain Vineyards 1998 Cabernet Franc
Review: I have really been looking forward to drinking this wine. I won this on WineBid back in October and have been eyeing it closely since it arrived in early December.
I was a little disappointed with the amount of sediment in the bottle, I had to make sure I let it settle before drinking. The wine is 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. It had a deep color, in fact it is probably the darkest Cabernet Franc I have ever tried. It had a rich, full body with a strong taste of oak, black fruit and spices. It also had a strong aftertaste, that stayed with me after the glass was finished.
Overall, a good wine.
Price: $50
Grade: 90

Sounds delicious! I've never had a full bodied Cab Franc like that, they just don't fill out as much in the NY ones I've been drinking.
