Score 90/100 · Drink 2025-2032, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2025

From the Conner-Lee Vineyard, the 2022 Cabernet Franc Suspense is varietally herbaceous and earthy, with jalapeño and dried herb hitting the nose with intensity. Dusty tannins wrap around a supple core of full-bodied ripeness and rich berry. Enjoy another 5-7 years.
