2004 Moon Mountain Estate Grown Cabernet Franc Sonoma County – Very dark garnet color. The nose is big with fruit and leather. There are big tannins and good acid. Leather, tobacco, dark fruit in the mouth. There was also a fair amount of oak. The finish was of moderate length. I really liked this wine when we bought it a couple of years ago. I still like it but I think I’ll wait another couple of years to open another. It seems part way between being a young wine and an older wine and I want it to complete that transition.
We enjoy wine, food and travel. Pull That Cork is a chronicle of our wine adventures, the food and wine pairings we create and our travels which are increasingly organized around wine.
It will be interesting to go back to this post in a couple of years when I open my other bottle. I think it goes for $22 – $28 a bottle now if you find it.
From your description this sounds like a wine worth waiting for. I’ll have to see if my wine merchant can get this. Don’t you just love wine blogs, there’s so much information. Keep the reviews coming.
