Thank you Frank! @DrinkWhatULike for your constant enthusiasm

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@TheVAGrape @NNKWineDiva @TararaWinery @HortonWine @WilliamsburgTWW @Slater_Run @BlenheimWines It can be challenging to talk about a Virginia Vintage when there is such diversity between the different regions

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@NNKWineDiva @TararaWinery @HortonWine @WilliamsburgTWW @Slater_Run @BlenheimWines Quality & Quantity!

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@TararaWinery "Spiced Cinnamon" is a Virginia Cab Franc descriptor that I've found through the years for central Virginia versions

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@DrinkWhatULike @VAWine @Slater_Run @TararaWinery @BlenheimWines @WilliamsburgTWW @HortonWine I'm a Virginia boy but heavily influenced by the Rhone & Wachau

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@DrinkWhatULike @WilliamsburgTWW don't forget that chameleon blending partner: Tannat! the perfect cf partner

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@DrinkWhatULike @BlenheimWines @TararaWinery @Slater_Run @WilliamsburgTWW The Horton won't be released for another six months--sneak preview

@DrinkWhatULike @TararaWinery @BlenheimWines Jordan, 100% screwcaps?

[Alleigh @Alleigh]

Wow...this @HortonWine Cab Franc caught my attention. Very interesting. Chocolate-covered cherries & earth. Medium body, light tannins. #VAWineChat

@WilliamsburgTWW @NNKWineDiva @BlenheimWines @HortonWine @Slater_Run @TararaWinery Where is the fruit sourced from for this excellent franc?

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@NNKWineDiva @BlenheimWines @HortonWine @Slater_Run @TararaWinery @WilliamsburgTWW Horton originally planted '89, but replanted in early 2000's due to leaf roll virus

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

Our regular '15 CF is in wide distribution, $ 18/bottle

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@TararaWinery right back atcha...i had franc envy tasting yours

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@DrinkWhatULike @HortonWine Davidson red clay/loam soil

140 cs for the PR Franc $ 30/btl

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@DrinkWhatULike in the vineyard finding the balance....we have challenges with uneven ripening in the franc in some vintages requiring massive fruit drop

[Michael Heny @MichaelHeny1]

@TararaWinery thanks! I'm glad I'm being poured before you
