Country: US / Estate
Variety: Cabernet Franc California
Winery: White Cottage Ranch / Howell Mountain
A tremendous Cabernet Franc that shows the intensely concentrated fruit and considerable tannins of Howell Mountain. Explosive in cherries, cherry liqueur and red currants, yet for all the power, the wine has a dignified balance. A bit aggressive now. Give it 2–3 years to calm down.
