WINE FRONT 95+ POINTS! VINOUS 95 POINTS! WINE ADVOCATE 94+ POINTS!

 

"Ripe, dark raspberry, blackberry, toasty nutty oak, earth. Fresh line of acid, firm chew to tannin here, bright flavour, frisky on the finish with plenty of tannin. A fair bit of toasty oak here, but fruit is sucking it up. It needs time, and it’s a powerful expression of Cabernet Franc, but so good." - Wine Front

 

"Incredibly focused and defined, the 100% Cabernet Franc showcases aromas of mulberry, Asian spice, black tea and graphite. Loaded with dense fruit and spice on the palate, the full-bodied wine has beautifully balanced acidity and ripe, uber-fine tannins. Stunning out of the gate, this wine should provide cellaring rewards for years to come." - Mount Brave

 

"Made from 100% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Cabernet Franc Mt. Veeder was aged for 22 months in oak barrels, 80% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose delivers fragrant, perfumed notes of black and red cherries, mulberries and black raspberries with hints of lavender, pencil shavings and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, the decadently fruited palate has beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins framing the black fruit, red berry and floral layers, finishing long and graceful." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

 

"The 2018 Cabernet Franc is one of the most distinctive wines in this range. Inky dark fruit, mocha, gravel, spice, menthol and licorice are kicked up several notches in this potent, virile Franc. Time in the glass brings out the wine's floral and spice overtones along with distinctly red shades of fruit. There is a bit of oak influence, but the Franc handles it well while retaining quite a bit of varietal character." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
