Franciscan Oakville Estates Cabernet Sauvignon |
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential Napa Valley Cab. The season provided the ideal combination of cool evenings and warm-cool days. Allowing a slow, even ripening that let tannins, sugars and flavors develop in unison. The result of this long hang time is a wine with supple tannins, complexity, intense flavors and excellent overall balance.
Aromas of rich chocolate, coffee, and cassis with notes of mixed dark fruit and raspberry.
Extraordinarily rich and mouth-filling, with flavors of cassis, coffee and toasted oak that grace a well-structured body, full of texture with ripe, supple tannins on the lingering finish. |
