Napa Valley Cabernet Franc
Napa Valley, California, USA
The 2017 Cabernet Franc is a gorgeous wine with tons of character. Bright red cherry, red plum, spice, graphite, dried flowers, mint and a whole range of spice notes infuse the Franc with tons of flavor complexity. Juicy and pliant, with terrific purity, the Franc is a clear winner in this range. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2020)

Big, bold, racy with chocolate and raspberry notes. Huge, but lovely.

As good or better than the 2016 Cabernet Franc. Fantastic wine pairs with anything.
