Lot 196
2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Franc

Medium ruby in the glass. Opens with the sweet perfume of dried rose petals and tobacco leaf haloing a core of watermelon and cherry candy, cinnamon spice and a loamy underpinning. Beautiful, pure and complex. Perfectly-ripe and supple on entry, Lot 196 is seamless and transparent across the mid-palate before unfurling pretty cherry fruit over robust tannins. The wine has excellent focus and depth a long and lingering finish.
