Black and blue fruit. Bloody meat. Guessed Jacque Perrin blind. This is a tremendous wine. Finally got to try one

What a delicious wine! Could use a bit more time in the bottle but it was a real treat.

62% Cab Franc, 38% Merlot. 13.9%ABV. Nice and elegant, just a little thin on the mid-palate, but otherwise very enjoyable.

Like the '13 but more accessible. I believe this was entirely Cab franc or very close to it.

Napa's answer to Cheval Blanc. Incredibly aromatic and the best domestic merlot/can franc blend out there.
