October 5, 2013 - Napa Valley Wine and Food Excursion 2013; 9/30/2013-10/5/2013 (Napa Valley, California): Pure, ripe red currant and plum aromas are supported by nuances of pipe tobacco, pomegranate and clove on this 100% Cabernet Franc offering. Deep ruby, full-bodied, fresh and with medium fine-grained tannins, it delivers flavors which mirror the nose. The alcohol (listed as 14.5%) is seamless and the mouth texture is velvety. Solid in the middle and long on the finish, this is a fruit-forward Cabernet Franc which avoids the excessive herbaceousness that can sometimes plague this grape. Bravo to Cosentino! Drink now-2023.
