Markham 2011 Estate Grown Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Estate Grown
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: Markham / Napa Valley

Chalky tannins and dried herb mark the entry of this wine, which stays varietal despite the addition of 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sage, peppercorn and high-toned cherry complete the picture, with well-integrated, generous tannins framing the overall picture, finishing in swirls of cinnamon and vanilla.
