Wine of the Week: Breaux Vineyards Marquis De Lafayette 2009 (VA) $20

By , About.com GuideSeptember 30, 2012

Follow me on:

The Breaux Vineyard's 2009 Marquis De Lafayette offers a medium-bodied, 100% Cab Franc, well-oaked red wine. Expect dark blackberry fruit, black plum and a decent dose of clove character and vanilla spice along with well-rounded tannins.

This Cab Franc is a significant representative for Virginia Cab Franc, showing solid quality and consistency as one of the state's best bets for red wine grapes.  The Breaux Marquis De Lafayette is an elegant red wine find with plenty of pairing options.
