2017 Detert Family Vineyards Cabernet Franc Oakville, USA, California, Napa, Oakville, Wine Review
One of the great Cabernet Franc's in California or the world. From the historic To Kalon vineyard in Napa. Although 2017 was a difficult vintage in Napa, this wine is from the warmer valley floor and Cabernet Franc ripens a bit earlier. No issues here. Deep ruby/purple in color. The nose has black cherries, slight cigar tobacco, hints of roasted bell pepper and baking spice. On the palate, this is full bodied. Medium tannins. Lots of depth, it unwinds in the glass. Flavors of black cherries and earthiness. Nice energy. Long finish. This will continue to mature for the next ten t
