2018 Cabernet Franc

Last night, we had one of our favorite meals, a Greek meal consisting of pastitsio and Greek Lemon Potatoes with a simple side salad. The meal was especially tasty because the day had been raw and rainy. It has been raw and rainy both Wednesday and Thursday of this week, which does not portend well for grapes still hanging on the vine, but that is another story.

We enjoyed this hearty meal and chose to pair the dinner with a 2018 Cabernet Franc. This Cabernet Franc was sparkling clear in the glass, a kind of ruby garnet in color. The aromas that came out of the glass was one of cherries and the flavor was of black bing cherries.

This wine was bottled on October 4, 2019. Originally, we noticed that it had some green notes but on this evening, we didn't taste any of the green notes and it went very well with the pastitsio! What is it? It is our 2018 Cabernet Franc!
