My favorite wine of this group is the 2008 H Block. It is the first time they have ever made it from 100% Cabernet Franc, and it is a killer wine. Gorgeous notes of blueberry, violets, lead pencil shavings, and pen ink soar from the glass of this full-bodied yet strikingly elegant, floral wine. It is deep blue/purple in color, with a glorious texture, terrific purity, and a long finish. This is further evidence of the brilliance of Cabernet Franc in Napa and of Cabernet Franc paired with the rare talents of Andy Erickson. It should drink well for 10-15 years, possibly two decades. This is an intriguing and provocative operation from wine personality Fritz Hatton, who is also a classical pianist and auctioneer. He has long had a winemaking association with well-known Napa consultant Andy Erickson.Tel. (707) 963-5918; fax (707) 963-5919
