Gibbs Vineyards 2022 Cabernet Franc, Napa Valley

The 2022 vintage is beautifully complex, layered, and rich with character; only made more powerful thanks to the addition of a splash of Oakville Petit Verdot. Violets, blue fruits and herbal notes on the nose seamlessly meld with a body showing blueberry, dark boysenberry, bitter chocolate, and a touch of green bell pepper. The tannins are fine, but ever present bringing beautiful structure to this layered and age worthy wine.
