2016 Cabernet Franc, Tinaquaic Vineyard
Santa Maria Valley

"The 2016 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard contains 12% Petit Verdot and has a medium to deep ruby-purple color in the glass. It's scented of cigar ash, dried violet, blackcurrant bud and graphite with notes of old leather. Medium to full-bodied, it has lovely layers in the mouth with firm, detailed tannins and juicy acidity, finishing very long and layered. This does have some "sweaty horse" character, but it's well balanced with fruit." - Wine Advocate, 90 points
