More red fruits on the palate. No real sign of sous bois for me. Significant acidity and tannins. Very long finish.
Just a bit underwhelming for a PC.
Interestingly, I didn’t realise I had a glass from Coravin over a year ago and forgot about the wine. Fully expected this to be oxidised or dead. After first sip, moved to Speigelau definition from a lesser glass.

2019 Ravines Wine Cellars Cabernet Franc
8/13/2023 - ClapeYourHands Likes this wine: 89 Points
Day 1:
Red fruit (cherry and strawberry) on the nose.
Grippy tannins. Quite long finish.
Day 2:
More red fruit and increased presence of herbs on the nose. Not sure I ever got the typical green bell pepper from a cab franc.
Tasted more balanced. Good acidity and tannins have integrated.
Really enjoyed this with barbecued steak, corn and a kale and golden raisin salad.
