Beaucanon

Cuvée Louis Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2007

Another Total Wine pick-up, mainly for the 8 years on the shelf. The Beaucanon vineyard began in 1978, and this vintage won the silver medal in a San Francisco Chronicle Competition. That's about all I could find out about that. But, you know, enjoy, if you like heavy tannin! ~ $26 | #beaucanon #cabernetfranc #napavalley
