DARE Cabernet Franc (2004), 2005

:Wine Type
DARE Cabernet Franc comes from our hillside estate vineyards blended with fruit sourced from Jan Krupp's Stagecoach Vineyards in Oakville. Intended to be enjoyed earlier than the VIADER, the wine is aged on primary lees for 6 months before being racked and blended to impart mid-palate weight and texture. The lifted aromatics exhibit red plums, raspberry and bing cherry supported by secondary notes of east Indian spice and cardamom. The wine shows a plush entry that leads to a well-defined mid-palate and a long, silky finish.
Tasting notes: The robe is a beautiful cherry red and the nose tempts you with aromas of red berries, plums, oak and sweet spices. After a few minutes of opening, darker fruits, smoke and peppery notes develop in the glass. On the palate the wine shows enticing flavors of ripe black cherries and strawberries supported by velvety tannins. Fully integrated oak flavors and a well-defined mid-palate. Hints of tobacco, vanilla and caramel carry the finish, making this wine ready to be enjoyed young or cellared for 1 to 4 years time from vintage date.
