Franciscan Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Napa Valley, California, United StatesCedar, black olive, cassis and leather notes mark the peppery tobacco aromas on the nose. It's fairly supple on the palate but with some dry tannins. Smoky spicy cedar flavours mixed with vanilla, cassis and finishing with a toasted earth taste. Elegant but a bit too acidic on the finish to be really mainstream attractive.Tasted: 18 October 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $45.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Charton-Hobbs |
