Inky in color with a reddish/ brick rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, black cherries, cooked plums, sweet raspberries, tobacco, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, light alcohol, mediterranean spices, earth, black pepper and herbs.
Full-bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn, tobacco leaf, mediterranean spices and dark coffee.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Franc based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Fruit forward and rich. Complex with a nice mouthfeel, tangy and entertaining.
Feels like a Napa Merlot, and a little hot at the back of the throat.
Needed 4 hours of airtime to open up, so be patient.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is definitely better with age.
This 10 year old Single Vineyard is drinking very well now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Showing good structure, and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 66% Cabernet Franc, 26% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Sangiovese and 1% Petit Verdot.
15.9% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$150.
