Jarvis 2007 Estate Grown Cave Fermented Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Franc
Winery: Jarvis / Estate Grown Cave Fermented

Cabernet Franc is a difficult variety on its own, but Jarvis does an excellent job. This is still quite tannic, with a hard, astringent mouthfeel to the cherry, blackberry and dark-chocolate flavors. Give this a few more years of aging, although it doesn’t seem like a longterm ager.
