Ramian Estate 2006 Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Franc - Showing very well right now. Deep garnet in the glass. Nose of raspberry and vanilla. Full-bodied, fruit forward palate yields black raspberry, cassis, and light vanilla oak. Medium acidity and medium plus tannins make for a fine food wine, though just bright enough for a sipper (for some). An excellent, lighter option for when its son, Cab Sauvignon, is too heavy. Take it anywhere you’d take Bordeaux or California Pinot Noir. Now if only we can get Randall Graham to make more. Drink now through 2026.
