Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2021

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates and peppercorn.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black currants, plums, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, light earth, herbs, spices, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Cabernet Franc from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Smooth and elegant.
Rich and fruit forward. The high alcohol is not too noticeable.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94 point wine.

Needs 5 hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Wine Enthusiasts 92 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

Grapes were handpicked, and aged in (75% new) French Oak barrels for 22 months.

15.6% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$85.

No. 1 Mountain Peak Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Revel $500cs

Nose: elegantly vegetal.

Palate: very subtle. Cherry. Vegetal. Not typical. Maybe a disappointment for someone wanting a $150 Napa cab.

Darius II Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Dark ruby/purple color. Intense aromas of ripe black fruit, graphite and violets. Flavors of blackberry, black plum, coffee and dark chocolate. Long and plush finish with beautifully integrated tannins and well balanced acidity. Rich and creamy mouth coating texture. Fantastic structure both powerful and elegant at the same time. Incredible!Thank you so much for sharing, Petey P! — 2 months ago
