Feb 6th, 2016Trust me, you want to buy this Ehlers Estate 2012 Cabernet Franc before it's gone! It's OMG amazing right now: super drinkable with blackberry, black cherry, black currant fruit, spice, and it's oh so mouthwateringly juicy on the palate. Available directly from the winery until sold out.

Well, again Ehlers estate never disappoints! This is a fantastic cab franc from St Helena in Nappa Valley. The cork was absolutely perfect. The color is midnight sky on a cloudy night with a rim of purple hue. The legs are thick and long with a 12 second fall. The bouquet is a floral collage of roses and concord grapes growing in a field surrounded by ancient oaks. The initial palate reminds me of blackberry pie with a butter coated crust. The finish is a tart raspberry sorbet floating in a buttery, spicy, and oaky bliss of soft wine only experienced in a tiny French cafe. This is my new favorite wine. Im sorry ZD, you've just been pushed into second place!!!!!!!! Im buying as much of this as I can afford. I suggest you pick this one up asap while there is some left.
