From some of the (the most?) oldest Cabernet Franc vines in Napa, the plush and velvety expression of wines from Tokalon are here with a dense core of black and red fruits, with hints of Cabernet Franc showing pepper, dried beef, peppercorns and toasty coffee notes from some very well integrated oak. Big, but very elegant, good intensity without feeling heavy or weighty. Old vines rock!

Way too early for me right now. Suspect 5-6 years and fruit, acid and wood will integrate.
