Mm, mm good!

Tonight I made Mario Batalli's Italian meatloaf (spinach, carrots, cheese and prosciutto rolled in the center of a beef-pork mix). To accompany it, Leslie picked out the 2007 Barboursville Cabernet Franc reserve. Wow! This wine has reached its peak, with powerful fruity notes like raspberry and blackberry, mixed with some cedar notes.  The tannins are rounded and soft, but not merlot like. It really hit the spot with its long, succulent finish.
