Bottle #3 of the night. Cab Franc, Merlot and Malbec. Brickish rim, supple tannins, lovely and drinking beautifully. At least another 5 years left on this one.

Jun 25th, 2021I’ve been jonesing for a super Cabernet Franc and after reading @Jeff Orlowski ‘s note, I decided on this one from Napa. 60%CF, 34 % Merlot and 6% Malbec. This is a plush and well-crafted wine. Opaque top-to-bottom in the glass and a lovely nose of deep, dark fruit together with some spice as you would expect from CF. Nicely extracted fruit that comes together and lingers on with medium acidity and serious yet integrated tannins. Consumed over three days and it was still singing on day 3. Cheers!

Love a good Cab Franc...this is an outstanding Cab Franc! Leather and spicy notes on nose. Full, dry, nice tannins. Loaded with black and blue fruits plus a nice graphite note.

Dark fruit aromas, blackberries, cherries, and hint of cigar box. Super smooth mouthfeel full of berries, tea, and cassis. Medium drying tannins and long satisfying finish. Love it.
