Similarly deep purple-hued, the 2019 Cabernet Franc (78% Cabernet Franc, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot) offers a kaleidoscope-like array of red, blue, and black fruits as well as spring flowers, cedarwood, and leafy herbs. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's another rich, concentrated, yet vibrant and fresh 2019, and it's going to evolve for 20 years or more. It's a brilliant bottle of wine!

The 2019 Cabernet Franc is a good wine but it needs a ton of air for the aromatics and fruit to emerge. This is an especially inky, opulent Franc with a ton of richness and copious sweet oak. Perhaps more Franc character will emerge in time, but it's not there now.
