Hunt Country - 2007 Cabernet Franc

Tasted on: July 23, 2010
Purchased for:
~$15
Wine Data:
  • Alcohol Content: 13%
  • Residual Sugar: 0.2%
Tasting:

My mother and I went to Keuka Lake to do some wine tastings at wineries around there. Hunt Country was a winery that I had to visit. I bought this bottle there because I loved its taste during the tasting.

Appearance:
A dark, dark red - almost black.

Aroma:
I can detect cherries and the oak aging of the wine. Unfortunately my nose isn't working for me tonight. Needless to say, it smells quite nice.

Taste / Texture:
Delightfully dry and full of flavor. Full body and great balance between flavor, alcohol, and sugar.

Aftertaste:
Pleasant aftertaste. Medium finishing time.

Decision:
There was a reason why I bought this wine after the tasting. Excellent taste. Like the winery, I would recommend this wine for any beef dish or to pair with cheeses. 90/100
