Barboursville Vineyards Cabernet Franc Reserve 2022

Dark garnet core, brilliant clarity in the glass. Intense, effusively luscious flavors of ripe red berries with caramelised notes of fig, cherry, and plum, elegantly woven together in barrel. Long-finishing and tannically vivid, yet with a remarkably soft palate. Suggest pairings include braised veal roast served with baby vegetables, tagliolini with breast of duck ragù or roasted lamb with rosemary and garlic over soft polenta. Blend: 90% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot

This especially food-friendly wine is so varietally characterful and intriguing that its outstanding response to our terroir has sustained its ranking among the most honored and loyally followed wines we produce. We grow vines originating from the Loire Valley as well as Pomerol and St Émilion, as the foundation of a wine famed for elegance and complexity as well as considerable age worthiness.
