Caldwell Cabernet Franc Clone 214

Just amazing from the jump. While the fruit slightly fades into the menthol over the course of an hour, there's no mistaking the blueberry nose from opening to final sip. The tannins are well integrated now giving it a silky smooth mouth feel with decent acidity providing lift. The palate gives you big blue fruit, black pepper spice and a hint of milk chocolate. The weight of the wine is perfect leaving you with a long finish. Nothing green or …

An excellent franc, but still very young. Fruit is very prominent. Will drink well for ten more years easily.
