Alden's suggestion was good- tannins have smoothed and this is drinking nicely; love the CF note. Not planned or perfect matches but paired nicely ( over 2 nights) with pesto pasta and meatballs; and grilles Mahi with coconut curry sauce.

Well, it's not a young thing (2012?). But I was surprised at the tannins.
yeah- what's this????
Grippy tannins at this advanced state.???
A really good drink. Drink and aerate---------- or cellar- I am saying maybe bring it out in 2 or 3 yrars.

Still drinking well. Love the CF note! Paired nicely with grilled chicken breasts marinated in a sesame oil - ginger marinade.

Tannins still overpower the limited fruit (dark cherry, with some tobacco notes). Also high acid and alcohol. I’m not a huge fan of this, but I’m also not a big Napa cab drinker, so keep that in mind.

Soft, elegant bouquet of cherry and cranberry. A bit too fruit forward on the palate for my taste. Cabernet franc imparts a slight bitterness on the finish (which I like).
