Arrow & Branch
Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
The nose reveals, ripe, lush, ruby, dark cherries, plum, bake strawberries, pepper, dark spice, mocha dark chocolate, limestone minerals, some black licorice, black cherry cola and bright dark florals.
The body is full, thick & rich. The fruits are ruby & lush. dark cherries, plum, bake strawberries, pepper, deep, dark spice, leather, crushed dry rocks, dry river stone, mocha dark chocolate, limestone minerals, strong presence of volcanic minerals, some black licorice, forest floor, black cherry cola and bright dark florals. The acidity is round and beautiful. The long, well balanced, ruby, elegant finish is fantastic and lasts minerals.
One of the better & unique primarily Cabernet Francs I’ve had in awhile. Also, made at Wheeler Farms.
Photos of. Wheeler Farms, Boucher red grape press, spicy devil eggs made for us by their chef and the side outdoor sitting area and Estate vines.

Last Friday was our normal 4th Friday happy hour at the storage facility, but since this month had 5 Fridays, why not keep the party going?!
Cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. Talk about delicious! Wow. Almost pop and pour. No note was too dominant or in your face. Everything felt in harmony. Nose and palate mimicked each other with oak, cherry, birch and sandalwood and black licorice.

This is soft and refined. Loads of cherries stand out to me on the palate. Some cedar and vanilla. It’s a light vs bold wine so will pair well with the Filet portion of the Porterhouse...glad I opened two (different) bottles...this is delicious and a two hour decant was perfect.

Sep 16th, 2017Lots of stone and blue fruits. Medium bodied. Cab franc takes the lead here so savory notes abound. Smooth tannins. As lovely as this is I'm preferential to their cabs - especially their Dr. Crane cab.

Oct 22nd, 2016Fortunately I've tried other vintages (the '09 and '12 are amazing) as the '11 is good but falls short of anything particularly notable after a 2.5 hour decant and tasted a little too green. With a few more bottles, will see how it performs down the line.
