2018 Chalk Hill Cabernet Franc

Coffee beans, dark earth, rose petal and pretty cherry fruit are bright and fresh on the nose - I would not hesitate to add pleasantly piquant to that description as well. Soft and juicy on entry with crunchy acidity framed against ample tannins, it finishes with a beam of pure cherry minerality haloed by lovely rose petal florals. Absolutely delicious and eye opening to what can be produced on the north coast.

Check-in tasting 6.12.21 - It never ceases to amaze me that this elegant, beautiful wine was produced from Chalk Hill fruit. The ripeness at 12.5% alc. is surprising. Fantastic stuff and will age beautifully as well drink beautifully on a warm summers day.
