Cabernet Franc Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: I also tasted the 2014 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard, which might take some months to come into the market. It has some balsamic aromas, medicinal hints, traces of orange peel, saffron and a touch of sweet...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: There are so much essence-like fruits on the nose of this Bolgheri Rosso, from blackberry perfume and dark-cherry compote to fresher elements of rosemary, lavender, hot stones and citrus. Full body with generous fruit...

Vinous, 98 points: The 2016 Paleo Rosso is a total stunner. Explosive and intensely floral, with tremendous aromatic intensity, the 2016 exudes class from the very first taste. Grilled herbs, crushed rose, peach, espresso and raspberry jam...

Vinous, 94 points: Captivating aromatics, bright fruit and silky, ripe tannins give the 2014 Paleo Rosso much of its inviting personality. Arresting in its beauty, the 2014 is translucent, pretty and highly nuanced. The cold, late-maturing...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Dedicato A Walter is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc, offering mineral essences of sea shell, clay and round rocks. This wine is supremely elegant, with dark fruit, spice and a touch of...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: A gorgeous example, exhibiting dark cherry and currant flavors up front, while layers of Turkish coffee, dark chocolate and hibiscus tea details interplay with blackberry and mineral notes. Firmly structured, yet graceful...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: This wine was first produced in 1983, and production remains unbroken because no vintage was ever skipped. The 2008 Cabernet Alzero is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with 20% Merlot. These are the first grapes...

Vinous, 93 points: Vineyard 29's 2014 Cabernet Franc is terrific. Mocha, espresso, red cherry and plum are all woven together in this striking, beautifully layered wine. There is plenty of the estate's signature richness. The flavors are...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Dark plums, red meat, dried herbs, oyster shells and dried spices. Full-bodied with lovely fresh fruit that’s interlaced between structured tannins. Medium-long on the finish. Drink in 2023.

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is crazy wine with amazing volcanic-ash, dark-berry, iron and spice aromas and flavors. Full body and ripe, layered tannins. Shows such layered intensity. Energetic finish. Drink or hold.
