2005 AHLGREN Cabernet Franc

Santa Cruz Mtns, Bates' Ranch

Complexity of both bouquet and flavor abound.  The wine is rich in the mouth, soft and almost velvety and silky at the same time while firmly structured with underlying tannin, acids and fruit.  Great complexity.  2005 was a very fine vintage, and the extra qualities of this fine vintage are reflected in the wine.  We recommend decanting.

Unfined and Unfiltered.  114 cases produced.

$28.50 per bottle.
