Franciscan Estate
Winemaker's Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Clearly Cali Cab! This is a convergence of black cherries and currants, peppery spice, tannin/skin contact/oak/structure. I would like more of a finish. Overall, superb wine!

Oct 2nd, 2015Its good but not great. The tannins and acidity are overpowering what fruit there is in it. It will integrate w/ time but to what level I can't tell. I'm hoping as it sits open a while longer the fruit will come forward a bit. But overall right now just to young to tell. I'll likely never buy this again.

Feb 16th, 2015...I buy a case from Dom P. on his recommendation. Now, so many people come to me for advice ad I go to Dom P., one of the smartest guys I know, plus he speaks fluent Italian and conversational Korean, but does this translate into knowing wine... Because, certainly; I know wine...
This is good... Dark, fruit, blackberry, blueberry, true Napa Cab... I taste licorice; I read some reviews on-line and I read anise... How many tastings have I been to and somebody says "anise." Guess what, anise smells like licorice, haaaa... Google it... Anyway, salude Dom P... I'm finishing the bottle re-watching Boardwalk Empire with Ziti... Damn good bottle...
