Clos du Val – Estate Cabernet Franc 2016 – Stags Leap District, Napa Valley

The nose is fruity and offers intensity and a fine concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry, violet and small notes of small red berries, cassis associated with fine touches of cocoa/mocha, Sichuan pepper and a very discreet hint of spices. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, precision as well as a fine tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy cassis, juicy raspberry and small notes of small ripe/juicy red berries associated with fine touches of cornflower/rose, crunchy blueberry as well as fine hints of tonka bean. Tannins are elegant and well-built.
