    Plummy chocolate stars in this densely textured yet nicely lean wine, which finds balance and power in the glass. Cherry, blueberry and cedar make appearances, before a finish kissed in tobacco.

    It's softly tannic and fairly sweet in raspberry and cherry jam flavors. This will be a lovely wine with steak.

  • 200892 pts

    One of the prettier Cab Francs on the market, showing fine Napa structure and intricate flavors that grow more complex as the wine warms in the glass. With red and black cherry, red licorice, teriyaki beef and sweetly smoked cedar flavors, it's a beautiful wine to drink now.
