decided to open the 2011 Beaucanon Cuvée Louis Cabernet Franc, Napa Valley. Initially I enjoyed this wine - perhaps pre-game excitement. However after a few more sips things turned. Blueberry and plum notes are nice but the tannins are so intense it reminds me of Proverbs 5:4 - for all you Bible Scholars out there. "but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword." Yeah, I just went Biblical on this wine. 😂. It’s as unbalanced as the kicker for the Dallas Cowboys. The alcohol level dulls the pain tho. -DD88

Surprisingly nice. Beautiful, floral bouquet, restrained fruits, very smooth and balance, subtle oak. Had this at a restaurant and couldn't resist buying a bottle to take home.

If you like a fruit forward and tannic Napa red, you’ll love this wine and how it’s drinking right now

A lighter cab franc. Blueberries yet not balanced. Not complex. Would not drink again.
