Nice take on Cab Franc. Not over the top which leads me to believe a light hand was used to produce this wine.

Nov 26th, 2017One of our favorite napa whites. Crisp and went beautifully with the stone crabs.

1 person found it helpfulNov 10th, 2015Well I felt I should not open this for a while but my impulse control is not always the best. But I had people to share with so what the heck. Blind tasting, if given this I really would not ever guess cab franc. That is a compliment for cab francs. This is so silky, so cherry rich with a hint of the ground I'd think some sort of California blend--I will give it that much-And not involving cab franc-- But the best idea of the taste of this wine you could linger on forever-- is a cross between walking under gnarly mulberry trees when I was young and cherries I've soaked in Cherry Heering PLUS, say, a scoop of soil. Nowhere do I see the gnarly green pepper notes I see in oh so many cab
Francs. This one gives me hope for the cab francs of the future. May they all be so rich. Thank you @Paul Treadway ! This is a cab franc I'm grateful my chums did not finish because...I will

Pairs well with Bob Marley on the turntable-green herbs/bell pepper on the nose. Big and dense with tannins giving it support. Front of the palate gives off this dusty chocolate flavor mixed with blackberry and spice. Mid palate and finish merge offering a spiced tinged finish with cream and graphite.

Apr 22nd, 2017Does not scream classic Cab Franc but doesn't seem overdone in any way. Big and beautiful.
