Score 93/100 · Drink 2023-2034, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2021

The 2018 Cabernet Franc 29 Estate, which includes 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, offers a Pomerol-like bouquet of exotic blue fruits, green tobacco, forest floor, and spring flowers. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless Cabernet Franc with wonderful purity of fruit, silky tannins, and a great finish. Give bottles 2-3 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following decade.

The 2018 Cabernet Franc 29 Estate is a beautiful and highly distinctive wine. Succulent dark cherry, mocha, cedar, new leather and tobacco abound. More than anything else, I am so impressed by how strong varietal character comes through, even with all of the fruit intensity. Raspberry jam, espresso, rose petal and mint all linger. This is such a gorgeous wine.

Composed of 95% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cabernet Franc 29 Estate delivers provocative scents of blueberry compote, black raspberries and Morello cherries with suggestions of pencil lead, underbrush and garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate offers soft-spoken, savory layers among the red and black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a compelling herbal lift.
