Thanks to several batches of brownies I have a couple of hours to kill tonight, so I am going to try something new. I have a bunch of posts that have been pending, so I am going to try to knock them all out tonite. But, I am going to use the blogger date and time thing to spread them out over the week, so I don't inundate you all all at once.


Wine: 2005 Afton Mountain Cabernet Franc
Wine: 2005 DelFosse Cabernet Franc




Review: I've mentioned before that I am not a big fan, in general, of Virginia '05 Cabernet Francs. They aren't bad, but they all seem to lack the pepperiness that is one of the defining characteristics of Virginia Cabernet Franc. Both Afton Mountain and DelFosse make good wines and these wines are good, just not excpetional. They are more fruity than a typical Cabernet Franc and very lightly tannined.

I tried both of these when they were initially released and had hoped they would develop more depth as they aged, but so far they have not.

Price: Afton Mountain: $23.00
Price: DelFosse: $23.00

Grade: 80
