Purple in color with a wide purplish /brick rim.
Showing a strong, pretty nose with violets.
Full bodied, dry, and very fruity on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing black plums, black cherries, blueberries, vanilla, licorice, spices, oak, dark chocolates, alcohol, peppercorn, herbs and light earth.
Spicy, interesting, and a little hot.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.
Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.
I had it 3 years ago, and decided to wait for a few years. That was a good call. So much better now.
Peaking now, so drink up. Elegant and fruity. Rich and extracted.
15.7% alcohol by volume.

Enjoy!Cabernet Franc Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wines & Vines articleUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson |
