Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard (87% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot) comes all from the Tinaquaic Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley and was aged 22 months in 50% new American oak barrels. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a fabulous bouquet of crème de cassis, crushed flowers, violets, and spice. Possessing medium to full-bodied richness, fine, elegant tannins, and a great finish, it needs a year or two of bottle age and will keep for 10-15 years.

The 2015 Cabernet Franc Tinaquaic Vineyard reveals aromas of dark chocolate, black fruit and toasty new oak, followed by a super-extracted, bitter and astringent palate. I found it hard to identify any redeeming features.
