Ballentine 2008 Estate Grown Pocai Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Franc
Winery: Ballentine / Estate Grown Pocai Vineyard

The Pocai Vineyard is a very interesting one, growing Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and the wines are always worth looking into. This Cabernet Franc, at four years of age, is mellowing, with the tannins turning gentle and the flavors becoming delicious and dramatic. Particularly bright in red cherries, it’s a beautiful wine for drinking over the next year or two.
