The 2002 Cabernet Franc Vintner’s Reserve is medium to dark ruby-colored and reveals a nose of plump blackberries and flowers. Fruit forward, in an almost Beaujolais style yet without the grapy character, it is a softly-textured, easygoing wine packed with pleasingly plush and plump dark berries. This medium-bodied effort is short in the finish but sure to please those who drink it over the next 4 years. Tel. (540) 456-8000 www.veritaswines.com
