Cabernet Franc isn't one of those grapes that gets much attention, instead relegated to blending with richer reds. But once in a while you find a winery that gets adventurous, and once in a while it comes out well.
Typical of a Cab Franc, this medium-bodied wine is deep magenta in color. Mellow scents of ripe blueberry, fig and a hint of raspberry are anchored by oak and a bit of leather. The berries continue through on the palate with hints of vanilla, a tannic structure and oak finish.
This is tasty stuff, and far better than a lot of Cab Francs I've tried. Retail is about $21, and in case you need another excuse to buy it, the winery donates $1 from the sale of every bottle to the University of Colorado Cancer Centre.
Housed in an old brick building in an arts district south of downtown Denver, The Infinite Monkey Theorem is a newcomer on the Colorado wine scene that goes for adventurous, unpretentious wines. The grapes may come from Colorado, California or other parts of the nation, but the results are modern, distinctive and interesting.
