Very pretty ruby in color with a wide purplish rim.
Fruity nose of currants, plums, blueberries, earth, vegetables, graphite, spices, bitter herbs and black pepper.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, currants, oak, smoke, tobacco leaf, spices, peppercorn and chocolates.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice California Red. Not fully balanced, but has some complexity. Not a typical Cab Franc, as it didn't show much of the bell pepper I usually find. Showing a soft and gentle mouthfeel.
I paired it with a spinach and basil flat bread.
100% Cabernet Franc grapes from Lodi, California were aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels for 20 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
$15.

Nice, but didn't leave a strong impression. Would buy again in a pinch, but not a favorite.

A weird mineral floral smell. A milk chocolate with a hint blueberry. I think it is a tobacco on the palate. The dryness is coming through. This will definitely open up and soften out!

Cab Franc is my go to and for the price, this will not disappoint. Highly recommend for the franc fans.

Fruit, spice and some definite cigar box. Not the most varietally correct Cab Franc but it does push some boundaries.
