2001 Dr. Konstantin Frank Cabernet Franc

[Innkeeper]

2001 Dr. Konstantin Frank, Finger Lakes, Cabernet Franc ($15.96 at winery with 20% discount). Alcohol 12%. Gives you black cherries on the nose and upfront. Plums and more black fruit along with the spice, dirt, and a hint of tobacco cross the palate with soft tannins, restrained oak, and a long, pleasant finish. Matched with smoked baby back ribs in Carolina Red Sauce, and salad in blue cheese dressing (even had one of our rare Yellow Pear tomatoes in it). All, very, very nice! Great wine and great food.
