Sol Rouge Lake County Cabernet Franc 2017

Bold and concentrated, this full-bodied, saturated wine wraps firm tannins around ripe, roasted fruit flavors like blackberries and grilled plums. Aged 30 months in 25% new French oak barrels, it is dense, layered and smoky, showing some of the herbal aspects of Cab Franc in a great light. Best from 2025 [through 2029+.] Score – 93.
