This outstanding Cabernet Franc from Eden Hill Vineyards is done in the lighter, classic style of the varietal. Fruit was sourced from the Texas High Plains. Specs show 12.5% ABV and pH 3.86. Winery tasting notes at bottling (July 2022) mention strawberry and raspberry but drinking it now (a year later) I get black fruit, mushroom, and leather. Tannins are soft and acidity is well balanced. An excellent presentation from winemaker Chris Hornbaker.
This is a very approachable wine that would go well with tenderloin filet, goat cheese, or Brie. Ready to drink now or before 2025.
Eden Hill Vineyard was founded in 2007 by Clark and Linda Hornbaker, their son Chris, daughter Wendy, and her husband, Chanaka. The winery makes 100% Texas wine and has a long and impressive list of awards and commendations. Highly recommended.
