2014 vs. 2015 of my favorite $10 bottle. No contest. I've been drinking this wine since 2012 vintage. 2012 and 2015 are why I love this Cabernet Franc. So glad it's back! The 2015 has the impeccable layers reminiscent of the 2012 I was introduced to. Fruit and acid in balance with red raspberry, spice and tobacco notes. Heavier tannin structure than previous vintages. I love it! Best $10 red in my opinion.
