The Merriam Vineyards Windacre Cabernet Franc 2011 is a lovely red wine that is full of berry flavor. Deep purple and fuchsia in the glass, this wine smells of pomegranate, freshly baked berry pie, blackcurrant, and baking spice. The palate is bright and flavorful, with notes of pomegranate, blackcurrant, cassis, and black raspberry. This mellow wine has medium tannins and a lively acidity with accents of cocoa and vanilla. The finish lingers, encouraging a second sip. Enjoy this red wine with friends or family and an excellent dinner menu.
