Deep crimson in color with sweet and spicy notes of fresh herbs and clove, layered over youthful fruit aromatics. Intense flavors of tart, dark fruit pair with hints of black pepper on the palate. This medium-to-full bodied wine has great structure and a long finish.

Pair simply with bruscetta topped with Gorgonzola and walnuts, or with just about any protein off the BBQ. For elegant entertaining, try with roast duck finished with juniper berries. - See more at: http://www.cosentinowinery.com/2012-the-franc#sthash.DK0ckqFs.dpuf
