2013 Detert Family Cabernet Franc East Block

Detert's 2013 Cabernet Franc East Block is a slightly more expensive cuvee from 36-year-old vines and 100% Cabernet Franc. This wine plays it closer to the vest than its sibling. It offers a gorgeous, deep ruby purple color, a restrained but potentially stunning nose of blueberries, white flowers and black raspberries, sweet, finely tuned tannins, medium to full body, and outstanding concentration and purity. It should drink well for 15-20 years.
