2008 Ancient Cellars Terebinth Cabernet Franc

This Ancient Cellars Cabernet Franc is a prime example of why I do what I do. I search for the smaller “Botique” wineries, and winemakers, who love the grape, and who live to produce the finest wines for the world to enjoy. They don’t produce the most wine they can for the market, instead they produce smaller amounts, that are quickly purchased by those who know and enjoy quality, fine drinking wines.
That is what you have here, an extremely drinkable, smooth, lucious wine, that you will be proud to serve to family and friends, and especially that special someone in your life. Put on the table, or in your wine cellar to enjoy during the next few years.
Terebinnth trees were revered by ancient cultures as places of solutude and reflction. They also served utilitarian roles in ancient society, including the use of Terebinth resin to preserve wine. Like the early winemakers, by producing 100 % Cab Franc, this wine preserves the varietal essence of this wine.
This wine has aromas of sweet spice, anice, and roasted coffee. Flavors of cassis, pomegranate, and plum are accompanied by spice, leather, and a thick body with silky soft tannins. This wine can stand alone, and will also pass the test of time. Open a bottle for an occasion, or for an afternoon while sitting on your deck or patio, or why not while watching that Sunday afternoon game on TV ?
Enjoy this fine wine with pork, poultry, and game dishes, or just by itself on a Sunday afternoon while you reflect the ancient paths of wine.
