Review: Zephaniah Vineyards Cabernet Franc
Wine: 2007 Zephaniah Farm Vineyard Cabernet Franc
Review: Zephaniah Farm Winery has a very interesting story behind it, it is Loudoun County's smallest winery and is open by appointment only. I went out there over the summer and will write up that visit shortly.
The Zephaniah Cab Franc is not a typical Virginia Cab Franc. In fact, it reminds me a lot of the Cabernet Francs I've had in the Northwest. A typical Virginia Cab Franc is peppery with lots of earth aromas. The Zephaniah Cab Franc is much smoother with emphasis on the fruit (don't confuse this with being fruit forward). It is an enjoyable wine that breaks the traditional Virginia mold.
Price: $20
Grade: 90
