Junta Winery Chile Cabernet Franc Grand Reserve 2009

Valle del Curicó, Region del Valle Central, ChileYou don't see a lot cabernet franc coming out of Chile but this one is worth looking at. The nose is classic with intense leafy tobacco notes but with a background of dark sweet fruit nuances. Expect black cherries and dried herbs and a savoury minty undercurrent throughout the finish. Turkey, roasted chicken and even spaghetti Bolognese would be a good match. Tasty.Tasted: 16 September 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
