An appealing Cab Franc, among the better versions of the variety. Shows the weight and structure of a fine Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, except the flavors veer toward red cherries and red cherry liqueur. Drink now, with honey-baked ham.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 90

With a lighter structure than Cabernet Sauvignon and flavors veering toward cherries rather than black currants, this fine wine is deliciously drinkable now. It has the authority of Napa Valley in the elegant, refined tannins. Great with broiled steak. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 90
