A great success for California Cab Franc, moving beyond mere fruitiness to true structural integrity. It's bone dry and tart, and while the tannins are intense, the fat of a good cut of beef will slice right through them. The flavors of black cherries, blueberries and currants are strong and flashy. Could be an ager, but few Cab Francs are, so drink now–2016.
