Description
This was a rare vintage when the luscious mulberry and raspberry aromas characteristic of Cabernet Franc were matched with depth and texture on the palate. The Cabernet Franc, traditionally only part of the Generations blend, is so extraordinarily good that winemaker Jac Cole set aside a few barrels just for Premiere Napa Valley.
