Lateral Wine
Napa Valley Merlot Cabernet Franc
2012- after being decanted for 2 hours and put back in the bottle overnight, the nose is pure and vibrant; red currants, plum skins, earthy tones, and the palate follows through. Good balance of fruit and earth, supple from the merlot but it has a nice tannic grip, cab franc shows through in a nice green steamy character. Absolutely beautiful.
