Crocker & Starr Cabernet Franc Blend AVA Napa Valley 2018

Another stunner from Pam Starr and Evyn Cameron using four Bordeaux varietals grown organically on the estate in St Helena.  The Cabernet Franc blend is 70% Cab Franc, 10% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Malbec.  The blend lends a baking spice characteristic with blackberries, dusty fruits, and violets.  The ripe fruit is given a little bit of backbone with fig, leather, tar and herbs.  Great balance of velvety texture, earth, structure, and complexity.
