2023 Fortunati Cabernet Franc Estate, Oak Knoll, Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 95 Points
Racy and seductive from the moment the cork is pulled, this classy bottling unfolds focused aromas of blueberry, violet, dark cherry, sandalwood and baking spice in pretty harmony. It is just as forthcoming and generous on the palate, where tannic grip and oaky spice underpin the pretty blueberry, violet and licorice root flavors. Beautifully dinner-balance and long-lingering already, it is likely two years from its full expression and ultimate elegance. 82% Estate Cabernet Franc, 13% Estate Cabernet an 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 165 cases Produced.
