Cab franc, you did it again. Such an under appreciated varietal, made in an excellent manner by Markham

Love cab francs. They can range so greatly! This is in the true Napa style of extracted and mouth coating. Dried plum, cardamom, violets, oak and roasted red pepper- the requisite savory.

December 4th is #CanFrancDay, so I had to start the weekend off right. Pours deep purple in color. ON THE NOSE: slight eucalyptus, dark fruit and a hint of milk chocolate. A little bell pepper but not a turn off. ON THE PALATE: no bell pepper here!!! Tobacco, black cherry and black currant. Medium body medium finish

Pours a dark red. Aromas of leather tobacco and cherry. The cherry and tobacco follow through into the flavors with an added hint of vanilla and cedar. A little thin with a shorter finish.

Phenomenal Cab Franc! 2012 was a great year. Smooth But strong and flavorful notes.

Terrific wine , 11 years old, balanced fruit & tannins, classical Cabernet Franc characteristics, wish I had more.
