Very good cab franc from a solid Napa vintage, from a winery no longer in operation. Dark ruby, opaque wine with thick, caked sediment on the inside of the bottle with a faint nose of dark fruit. It has good legs and flavors of leather, cassis, pepper, toast, tobacco and prunes. Good luck finding it, but it was very enjoyable.

Very herbaceous on the nose, some cassis. Herbal on the palette, high tannins, cassis, cooked berries.

One of the earliest additions to my cellar, this wine is kicking it now. Fan-frigging tastic.
