The complex 1997 Cabernet Franc (14.6% alcohol) is outstanding for its purity of expression and graceful yet concentrated style. A classic effort, it offers richness as well as finesse, a combination not easily obtained in California, where richness and power are more the norm. A deep ruby color with purple hues is followed by copious black cherry and mulberry fruit nicely dosed with new oak. This medium-bodied wine possesses good sweetness, refreshing acidity, moderate tannin, and excellent depth and richness. It should develop even more perfume over the next 10-12 years. Tel.
