Macauley
Cabernet Franc
Napa Valley, California, USA
Another wonderful gift from @Mike R and his lovely wife Rhonda.
We rarely drink cab franc, so this was a rare treat. Never as dense as a cab, but presents a lithe texture with a silky smooth mouth feel. Lots of minerality combine with soft oak and overripe cherries. Very well done and complemented our meal perfectly. For its age, it’s still a baby!

Some at the table@found this too tight and too hot. I really liked it. It is huge and hedonistic. Air helped as night progressed.

WOW!!!!!! Blueberry and baking spice backed by silky tannins. The cab franc from ToKalon is defined in rows not acres and Kirk Venge makes 50 cases of this outstanding wine. A very special treat.
