New Year’s Eve with beef tenderloin. Just no criticism of this wine. Good every time with everything. Deep, rich flavor. Slight hint of berry but not fruity. Not really earthy. Just perfect balance. — 3 years ago

Incredible!

Impeccable, balanced flavors. It begins with the light, flirtacious rhythm of a waltz and ends with awash of sensual flavors that conjure nothing less than sunset over the countryside. Best champagne ever!

It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious Cabernet Franc from Napa Valley.

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.

On the nose black plums, cooked cherries, black currants, cedar, licorice, vanilla, milk chocolates, coffee, black pepper, spices and light earth.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, chocolates, light alcohol, sweet caramel and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty Cabernet Franc. Easy drinking and good as a sipping wine. Very chocolatey and so smooth and delicious.

Drinking very nicely already, although very young at this point. Would be nice to revisit this in 3 years, and will age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Although it is dry, it has a sweet feel, like chocolate covered dried fruits, which makes it very pleasant and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle and much better after an hour in a decanter. Showing nice complexity with a nice, soft mouthfeel. Fruit forward and rich.

Will pair nicely with grilled meats. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses,

100% Cabernet Franc grapes were aged for 18 months in mostly French Oak barrels. A small production of only 250 cases.

14.2% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Love the label. I also have a soft spot for this winery. When I first visited Napa, Flora Springs was the very first tasting I did. They treated me like royalty (which I am), and I’ll always remember that.
