Santa Ynez Valley Cabernet Franc
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USAVery good new world Cab franc that even a Loire devotee can appreciate. Fruit forward and soft but not overly ripe (clocks in at 13%), sweet dark berries and black currants, a bit of graphite and soil. Bang for the buck vs the best examples of comparably priced Loire CF is a different question (really not even close) but this is definitely tasty

9.1+, a well executed effort given the conditions of the vintage. Approachable ,well integrated acid, fruit, & tannic structure, with the fruit playing more center stage.

Really nice Cab Franc for the money. Smooth, easy drinker with a very subtle spicy finish.

Heard a lot about this and the first bottle didn't disappoint. 100% Cab Franc. Definitely on the "buy more" list.
