Gibbs 2013 Carpenter Vineyard Cabernet Franc (St. Helena)

Country: US / Carpenter Vineyard
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: Gibbs / St. Helena

A rose garden’s worth of aromas lift out of the glass in this hearty, full-bodied red, the peppery tannins somewhat grippy on the palate before settling down. Blackberry punches through on the palate, given additional color and lift from the 5% Petit Verdot.
