Franciscan, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Dec 23, 2015

By Rich Cook

A widely available wine with Napa style, showing blackberry, black cherry, plum, pepper, fall spice and faint dried herbs, with firm tannins and a touch of dill that says "decant me well and let me dazzle you at my modest price point."  A rib roast will handle the tannins and make a nice match.  Contains 10% Merlot, 3% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Syrah.
