Napa Valley, California, USA
Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black currants, cooked plums, licorice, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, forest floor, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Napa Cabernet Franc from Oak Knoll District is still young, but already drinking very nicely. Elegant and nicely balanced, with a nice mouthfeel. Spicy with lots of earth notes, tangy and complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes in the decanter.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food, like Lamb dishes.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermented with wild yeast and aged for 18 months in (20% new French oak barrels. A small production of 3,000 bottles.
