2016 Cabernet Franc, Oakville Station

Big, bold, and effusive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and baking spices exude on our sought-after Cabernet Franc. A touch of sweet vanilla suggests a little time spent on new French oak. Smooth and round on entry, blackberry and red currant flavors evolve into a complex blend of ripe summer fruit and sweet dried herbs, with just a bit of floral. Fleshy and full-bodied the savory complexity on the finish gives way to supple tannins and a lingering finish.

From a legendary vineyard in the heart of the Napa Valley comes a brilliant expression of Oakville terroir. Bold ripe aromas of blackberry, cassis, spice, and fresh cedar with a layer of old-fashioned black licorice. Despite its youthful exuberance, the first sip is smooth and lush giving way to complex layers of ripe summer fruit and baking spices laced with sweet vanilla. Luscious yet refined, the finish is soft and supple.
