April WINE OF THE MONTH

Tabor Hill Winery Cabernet Franc

We are living in the golden age of wine. There are great winemakers all over the world and social media, online purchasing, and knowledgeable consumers make much of it accessible to oenophiles regardless of where they live.      


During our Michigan Wine Experience last fall we reported on the exceptional wine and wineries to be found in their five AVAs. One of these wines was the best Cabernet Franc we tasted and comes from Tabor Hill Winery in the Lake Michigan Shore AVA. It is our March wine of the month.      


Founded by Leonard Olson in 1970, Tabor Hill was the first winery in Southwest Michigan in over 30 years. Today, it is the fourth largest winery in the state with 60 acres and more than 80 varieties of wine grapes.      Their Cabernet Franc shows a rich, dark plum color in the glass with good viscosity. On the nose is fig, dark berries, chocolate, and coffee. It smells like a big California Cab with oak prominent but restrained. This is a full-bodied wine with medium plus tannins that reveal berries, chocolate, leather, and coffee on the palate. The taste confirms the nose. This is the most California/Bordeaux style wine we tasted from Michigan: bold yet drinkable with a long finish. It’s magic after 10 minutes in the glass.      


Tabor Hill can ship wine to the vast majority of states in the U.S. and their Cabernet Franc is an amazing value at $27.99.
