Depth, dexterity, power and reach all come together with this 2017 Smith Vineyard Cabernet Franc. Initially, there is a flurry of fresh, dark berry elements, and just when it seems that everything has been laid bare, another subtle characteristic quietly comes forth. Each individual essence has its own strong voice, yet all are balanced in a
soulful harmony. The fully resolved tannic frame is sturdy enough to hold the swelling song while the bright acidic seam keeps every note focused and crisp. With a lingering
finish, this wine continues to make promises that it keeps with each subsequent sip. It is a beautifully haunting wine that inspires both great expectation and joy.
