Hillebrand 2008 Trius Cabernet Franc - $14.95

Considering the lousy summer we had I find it kinda funny we are having a fall that is giving us temperatures well above the normal (I think today we are 5 degrees above the average). Speaking about above average, this Hillebrand Trius Cabernet Franc certainly fits that description.

The Tasting Notes: The nose is loaded with tobacco and cherry, while on the palate the tobacco-cherry relationship lives on with a nice hint of chocolate for a real taste treat … there’s also good acidity and a real nice finish to this wine. Price: $14.95 – Rating: ****

Suddenly we are in the midst of a warm spell so I thought it quite apropos to bring you a nice Riesling to enjoy this last, and rare, gasp of the warmth of fall, soon that chill we dread will be in the air, so enjoy now while you still can.

The Tasting Notes: The nose is beautiful and loaded with citrus, green apple, lanolin and floral notes; the palate has a little something for everyone: lime rind, crisp green apple, good clean acidity and the sweetness of peach on the finish. Price: $18.00 – Rating: ****
