Stepping Stone by Cornerstone Cellars 2010 Cabernet Franc! Very fruit forward and jammy plums on the nose! The texture is velvety on the tongue. The tannins peek out only for a quick second! This Franc could be my best friend!! Big, Bold, and Bad Ass!

Lots of bell pepper on the nose. A bit youngish but still delightful.

Rich "sexy" nose--currant, vanilla bean, black cherry, herbs. Powerful, lively palate- dark berry/black cherry, very slight hint of bell pepper on finish. Supple, gorgeous, for lack of better descriptors-- f**king awesome!

Big fan of this wine...smells like blackberry but I get a ton of red berry fruit on the palate...strawberry, cherry, medium acidity, lower tannins than most Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah I drink
