A beautiful, fragrant nose of violets, plums and spicy fruit start this alluring Cab Franc. On the palate, rich, velvety flavors of blueberry, cherry and plum have a smoky tobacco spin. Good tannins, great acids, a lingering, slightly sweet finish . . . this is a superb, sexy Cabernet Franc with excellent aging potential.——S.K.(6/1/2009)—— 90
