North Carolina Wine TV Review:
The 2006 Grassy Creek Cabernet Franc is more fruit forward than most of the North Carolina Cabernet Franc we have had in the past. I the nose this wine smells of red fruit, black pepper, dirt, and green peppers. In the mouth this is a well balanced wine. This complex wine has spice and peppery notes of a syrah. These flavors sit along side of some nice strawberry flavors.
Note: We had camera issues with this show and didn’t get to record the final minute with the rating. Please see our official rating below:

About Grassy Creek Vineyard and Winery 2006 Cabernet Franc (from the winery):
Our first Cabernet Franc is a big, juicy wine. It is an aromatic red with lots of plum and smoke characteristics. And the finish is full bodied, velvety, and fruit coated. Only 150 cases produced.
About Grassy Creek Vineyard and Winery (from the winery):
Building on the history of the Klondike Cabins is a new chapter: Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery.

O’ Fellas,
It is so nice to be considered in this spot. I have a huge heart for red. And this is going to make me (and you) berry happy. You will see North Carolina Wine is getting very good.
