Oakville East
Franc' N Stern Cabernet Franc
Oakville, Napa Valley, California, USA
Smoky herbaceousness, mossy maples, avocado skin, pencil shavings in a weird, carbon paper aquarium. Swim with me through black currant vapor, then dive into graphite and burnt blackberry bathtubs, strip off your camp-smoke sweater, relax in the haystack, fern and mesquite mulch, and briary arms of the cedar and gun smoke fed vinous swamp-franc!
A few friends were underwhelmed by this wine, and perhaps got tired bottles, but this one was a chunk of fiery biomass.
