2018 Caladan Cabernet Franc Napa Valley

2018 Caladan Cabernet Franc Napa Valley image

(96 Points)  --  (Wine Advocate)



Composed of 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot, the 2018 Cabernet Franc was aged for 22 months in oak, 76% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with vibrant scents of black cherries, warm plums and warm red currents with hints of graphite, cardamom and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with energetic, crunchy black and red fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. 531 cases were made. 96+ (LPB)   Review Date: 01/2021
