This Cabernet was the star of the show when I tasted at Franciscan! It has a lot of structure while still being delicate. Very smooth despite medium plus tannins. On the nose, eucalyptus, cherry, tobacco smoke. On the palate, chewy, cherry, blackberry, oak, silky, and a mocha finish. A wine I will definitely enjoy again! #lifeisacabernet #winepuns #winelife #winepuns #napavalleywines #bigredwines

2006 vintage that is right in its wheelhouse. Very drinkable. Light tannins. A meaty Cab

In magnum. This wine is showing beautifully now. Decanted 30 minutes before. An elegant wine. Totally integrated tannins, with fruit still showing through. Throwing sediment.

What a surprise. This wine is way much better than it was one year ago. Great rosy nose, jammy, great mouth feel and beautifully structured. Drinks well on its own.

Caramel and vanilla with round black cherry notes. Well balanced and would be a great meal accompaniment.
