Good berry fruit, jammy, good nose and decent finish. Definitely Zin-centric but I don't understand the hype. It's a good wine. I get that, but I paid $35 and it drinks like a $20-22.

Franciscan has been my "go to" Cab for everyday drinking for the past 10 years or so...until the 2010 vintage. A little disappointing compared to previous years. I thought perhaps I had a bad bottle but tasted 4 or 5 different bottles and they all tasted the same. A little lighter, less tannin, less fruit, lower quality than previous vintages.

Refreshing and crisp. Light and citrusy. Nice to drink on a warm day.
