2018 Peter Franus Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon, Mt Veeder

The nose offers a mélange of classic cassis, thyme, sweet oak, and anise. The mouth is deep, rich and layered, leading toward expansive flavours. Ample tannins are surprisingly smooth and integrate well. Structured with appropriate acidity and backbone, the wine
offers another example of “mountain fruit” that can indeed be tamed. Still a youngster, the wine will continue to evolve and reward down the road
