Lot #527. La Jota Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2018

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96+ WA.
"Made from 100% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Cabernet Franc Howell Mountain was aged for 22 months in oak, 65% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with a lifted, perfumed nose of red roses, kirsch, red plums and red currant jelly, followed by hints of mulberries, pencil shavings and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with taut, muscular red fruit, framed by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with loads of earthy sparks. 547 cases were made." Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate Interim, Jan 2021
Provenance: The Arctique Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $85
