Description
Sourced from the famed Three Palms Vineyard, this is a classic example of the spicy aromatic nature of Cabernet Franc. The wine offers powerful aromas of black cherries and violets. The rocky soils of the Three Palms Vineyard force the vines to struggle and that translates into concentration on the palate. Rich and velvety, the wine carries a long, fruity finish with hints of dark chocolate and toasty oak. Typically a component of Sterling's Three Palms Merlot blend, this wine has earned the right to stand alone!
