2012 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Franc Sonoma County

(93 Points  ----  Wine Advocate)

A brilliant effort is the 2012 Cabernet Franc (83% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 18 months in 40% new French oak). This beauty reveals plenty of forest floor, mulberry, black cherry and incense scents. The complex aromatics are followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully rich wine that is never heavy or overbearing. (RP) Review Date: 10/2014
