Mt. Brave Mt. Veeder Cabernet Franc 2019

The 2019 Cabernet Franc marries density, energy and varietal character in a huge mountain wine that is going to need a number of years to come together. Cedar, tobacco, licorice, coffee and dark-fleshed fruit infuse the 2019 with tremendous character. The 2019 is a powerhouse. Give it a few years to soften. Drinking window: 2024-2036. Score – 96.
