Mission Codename Lake Effect
Agent Red loves his Cab Franc. And today’s Two Jakes of Diamonds 2011 Two Jakes of Diamonds Lake County Cabernet Franc is right up his alley.
Today’s wine drinks well now with a little decanting, but with its fantastic acidity and structure, this wine will turn into a masterpiece with a few years in the cellar. Today’s wine has clear notes of cherry, cinnamon, and dried earth, without any hint of “green” flavors that can sometimes hinder the varietal. Instead, today’s wine has clear herbal and mineral notes that add a beautiful complexity to its profile.
Buy at least three bottles, so that you can try it in its youth, and also explore the wine as it matures over the coming years.
