Deep garnet color and full bodied. Smooth, elegant and well integrated. Cherry and red berry fruit with tobacco and tar notes and a peppery moderately tannic finish. Delicious Can Franc.

Nose of tobacco, red fruits, and smoke. Flavors of cinnamon and pomegranate, lengthy finish. Very balanced. Lovely expression from a tougher vintage.

This is my favorite Sonoma Cabernet Franc. Elegant, refined, cherry, tar, violets, and delicately oaked.
