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

A little tight at first but with some air it really impressed. There's a bit of vanilla oak with the fruit and it's really nicely worked. Boysenberry and blueberry on the palate. Medium length. Keeps getting better!
