I normally don’t drink Cabernet franc so this bottle had been sitting in my wine cellar since 2011. Although we opened this wine well past the end drink date we were pleasantly surprised. Berry, cherry and oak stand out as well as softened tannins.

This is drinking beautiful. Stil high tannin and high acid, with candied blackberries, capsicum and slate. it’s velvety and a beautiful expression of California cab franc.

Nose of leather, straw and red berries. Cranberry, currant and pomegranate. Big acid on the palate and very dry. Nice acid balance. A tad tart with cranberry, pomegranate and currant fruit. Rather one dimensional. Some nice minerality.

Slightly vegetal green/jalapeno pepper, but not offputting.
