Oak Knoll, Napa Valley, California, USA
Beginning of the week and tonight's wine is the 2018 Trefethen Oak Knoll District Cabernet Franc.
On the nose there is sweet strawberry, raspberry, red plum, red currant, mint, green bell pepper, rose petal and graphite.
On the palate I get notes of strawberry, raspberry, red plum, green bell pepper, vegetal, spicy notesand earth.
This wine is medium + to full bodied with medium + to high acidity and medium + refined firm tannins that leads to a long red fruit vegetal finish. This wine will need time to really find itself. If you a willing to wait this will become something special. Have a great week. Please be safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Fantastic Cab Franc! Deep ruby color. Aromas of strawberry, raspberry and Anaheim pepper skin. Smooth flavors of dark and red fruit, oak with a tannic finish.

Thinking I am not a Cabernet Franc fan. Tart for me. I grabbed it from my fridge randomly. Was hoping it was Cabernet Sauvignon. Still enjoying. Glad not too fruity.
