The Merriam Vineyards Jones Cabernet Franc 2011 is a full-bodied red wine that is full of fruit flavors. The color of this wine is very dark blackberry, and aromas of soft baked Snickerdoodles welcome you on the nose. Complementing fragrances of cinnamon, blackcurrant, and blueberry set the stage for the impressive palate. The flavors in this wine are wonderfully layered and dense, with prominent tones of raspberries, redcurrants, pomegranate, and mocha. The finish is long and luxurious, with solid tannins. Enjoy this rich red wine now or cellar for further flavor development.
