I think this is the best year since 2012. Big, bold and balanced.

Great Cabernet Franc smooth taste with hints of dark cherry and fantastic terroir finish. Complements blue cheese very well along with steak and mushrooms.

Chocolate coated fruit. Med acid, med tannin, beautiful color, satisfying finish, touch of alcohol on the nose. Love me a Cali styled Franc!
