Medium ruby, edging towards garnet. Nose of sweet blackberry, black raspberry, black cherry, black licorice, tomato leaf, wintergreen, minerals, vanilla, incense, and tar. Round and very smooth, with flavors of juicy black raspberry, black cherry, tobacco, anise, and tomato leaf. Went well with chicken marsala and especially well with smoked cheddar cheese.

Very nice. Black cherry and blackberry fruit with a big burst of chocolate. Not your typical Cab Franc here, very bold.

Great weight for an 8 year old cab franc. Great structure and fruit, especially for napa valley fruit. Still has a couple years to go to peak.

much better than my last bottle several years ago... just needed time and some air to take the edges off. Very nice with steaks.
