2023 Quest Cabernet Franc by Austin Hope, Paso Robles, USA (750ml) Mosel plus a whiff of dillWINEMAKER'S NOTES: The Quest Cabernet Franc is an exciting and unique wine. This blend displays a beautiful herbaceous nose of anise seed, warm chocolate, and fresh mint. On the palette flavors of black fruit, dark chocolate, and slightly earthy nuance of leather are present. On the finish, soft fine tannins leave a light coat on the palette and mingle with a delicate touch of acidity that balance the wine allowing the flavors to linger.
