Chappellet
Napa Valley Cabernet Franc
Napa Valley, California, USA
Woah! Intense blueberry and currant on the nose with just a hit of woody vanilla. On first sip, I got some notes like orange oil, and honeydew. Mid pallet is all spice: coriander and white pepper. The tactile is juicy and coating. Finishes with some floral tobacco, and a drying that reminds me of pomegranate juice.

We drank this @chappellet_wine over several hours and enjoyed how the nose and flavor evolved, so elegant and complex. Well integrated flavors of several layers. Glad we have more!
