It’s great to see the historic and influential Robert Mondavi Winery return to excellence. Napa Bordeaux blend with 85% #cabernetsauvignon 6% #cabernetfranc 6% #petitverdot 2% #malbec 1% #merlot. This wine shines with generous decanting. Elegant, memorable ripe bramble fruit and black plum, sweet baking spices on the nose. Juicy tartness underlays a bold wave of fruit on the palate with silken tannins on the finish. I definitely plan on laying down my other bottle for at least half a decade. #oakville — 7 months ago
I found it very aromatic and exploding with #Cabernetfranc aromas and flavors. It’s clean and fluid and fantastic for the price. #saintemilion — a year ago
Big and bold nose shows cedar and espresso and sweet notes of blackberry, violets and cassis. Full bodied and full of muscles. Dark chocolate with espresso aspirations, black cherry and blackberry reductions, black currant and blacker tobacco. Toffee and cedar explode and melt into a lingering, unctuous chocolate ganache.

Isn’t it great how a diner-style restaurant in downtown Napa could have a delicious red wine like this in a half-bottle format? Medium body, laid-back dark fruit, vegetal notes on the nose - crunchy on palate, good acidity, lovely #cabernetfranc that worked so well with a mild green chili burger + farmesan fries. — 8 months ago
Lovely, smoky, mushroom-funk with ethereal violet perfume emanating from lemon madeleines. Perfect expression of cassis and blackberries and black cherry, touches of sweet tobacco reveal a jungle of verdant herbs. Amazing cab franc with the full spectrum of textures.

One more winner from Nice Winery: Softly spiced blackberry and plum nose framed by faint coffee aromas. Proportional acidity and fruit on palate, more pronounced dark chocolate notes, soft tannins on the finish that build over time. #mendoza #cabernetfranc — 7 months ago

Not critically tasted as we quaffed this during Halloween trick-or-treating with the kids. Even drank out of plastic cups this is an elegant, nuanced #cabernetfranc from IB&F, made from Bates Ranch grapes. #santacruzmountains — a year ago

Textbook #loirevalley #cabernetfranc, this one from #touraine ; It was late in the evening after happy hour so notes are a bit more approximate than usual. 😜 Pyrazines active, green pepper notes, shy black/purple fruit, soft tannins and a vegetal earthiness on the palate. It could have been served cooler by the bar but nice night cap nonetheless. — 19 days ago
