This is a blend of 60/40 Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  This has a great nose with cassis, black cherries, char, and just a hint of cigar box.  Big tannins.  Great balance.  On the palate, black cherries come first followed by some cassis and underlying cigar tobacco.  A bit of baking spice as well.  Long finish. This is young and will improve by three or four points but right now would dominate anything but the biggest cuts of meat.  Cellar for five years and drink for fifteen after that.  One of the best Cab Francs (I know its a blend) I have tasted from Napa.
