Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2018 “Il Rosso delle Donne” pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart, mostly red fruits: Morello cherry, raspberries, strawberry, roses, a whiff of horse blanket, red rope licorice, dried green herbs, and dry gravel. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a slightly wild but positively gorgeous example of a Nebbiolo-based blend from Alto Piemonte. There’s an old school feel about this that completely charms the heart. Too bad there is so little of it: the entire Boca DOC has less than 50 acres planted to vine. Castello Conti only made 3912 bottles of this gem. Drink now through 2048+. — a month ago

You gotta be okay with "old wine", but this bottle still had integrity. Believe it or not there was still some intact, bright fruit among the older, decrepit "stewed" aromas. Drinkable as more than a "curiosity". — 9 years ago

Time for my #FridayCabernetfix. This week it's a nice Cabernet Franc from California.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, cherries, dried figs, vanilla, cedar, licorice, spices, flowers, dark chocolates, black pepper and light earth.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium plus acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate with black plums, cherries, sweet strawberries, black currants, raspberries, wood, spices, chocolates, tobacco, earth, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a great Cabernet Franc from Santa Ynez Valley, California.
Drinking very nicely now. Showing medium complexity with a nice, soft mouthfeel.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

I had this vintage 6 months ago, and it is drinking better now. This 4 year old should drink nicely in the next few years.

I really loved the nose here. This is Interesting, tangy, enjoyable and delicious.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
