Tasting note
Harbor Ridge Winery's 2015 Knockin' Heads Red should suggest Cabernet Franc aromas of red currant, dark cherry and herbs, with a peppery edge. Door County fruit is expected to feel supple and moderately structured, acidity keeping the palate lively and tannins lending a light grip. Its projected range ended in 2025, so bottle condition matters. If sound, the finish may be soft, with berry, spice and gentle earth.
