Leaning Oak Vineyard Cabernet Franc
Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a very enjoyable Cabernet Franc from Sonoma County.
Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vanilla, spices, licorice, light vegetables, peppercorn, cola, tobacco, coffee and chocolates.
Full bodied with a nice mouthfeel.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Nice finish with firm tannins (after 3 hours of airtime).
Still young and needs 3 years of bottle time to mature properly, but already very yummy. Tangy and interesting.
13.7% alcohol by volume.
