Churchill Cabernet Franc 2013 – The red wine made by Nathan Churchill in partnership with Valmarino winery, in Pinto Bandeira Rio Grande so Sul. The first vintage was 2006, followed by 2008, 2011, 2012 and the 2013, as he releases his wine only on the best years and it is limited quantity. The very good 2012 there were only 3 barrels made, for 2013 he increased to 10. It is about just 2kg of fruit per plant and aged ~18 months in Canton Premium Vintage toasted to medium high. Having tasted this baby back in March when it was just released, it was time to check how it is evolving. It is very approachable as it is and it will age well for another 5 to 8 years. Aromas of cherries, strawberry jam, floral almost violet, hint of spices and tobacco. On the palate it is also quite floral with cherries, cocoa and vanilla. Silk and smooth in the mouth with good acidity should please many different tastes. He is working on a new top wine called Terço (a third), which is a blend of 3 grapes and it will be released soon. _______________________________________________________ #vinoperitus #wine #winetasting #winereview #vinho #vino #vin #вино #ワイン #와인 #红酒 #יין #wein #wino #vinhos #redwine #vinhotinto #tinto #cabernetfranc #pintobandeira #churchill #valmarino #riograndedosul #top #brasil #brazil #thebest #yummy #great
