Tasting notes
Quite seductive, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Cabernet Franc has a hint of bay leaf intermixed with blueberry and raspberry notes, superb fruit, medium to full body, a delicate lightness to its style, yet intense flavor penetration on the palate. It’s a beauty whose velvety tannins suggest drinking it over the next decade. Consultant Karen Culler is the winemaking talent behind these offerings. Tel. (707) 963-6042; Fax (707) 963-4427

Bright red-ruby. Crushed berries, musky espresso and tobacco aromas lifted by a floral nuance. Subtle, juicy and pure, with a light touch to the currant, chocolate and spice flavors. Not a fleshy wine but offers very good intensity and life. Finishes with dusty, fine-grained tannins.
