Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Napa Valley, California
winemaker's notes:
Number 37 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!
"Exemplifies its terroir and vintage with its impeccable balance, and the way the ripe, sophisticated tannins wrap around the fleshy black currant, olive, chocolate and herb flavors. Finishes with some sweetness from charry oak."
-Wine Enthusiast
This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of Napa Valley's Oakville Region. Loaded with rich, ripe black cherry and plum flavors that are nicely balanced with hints of sweet toasted oak. Small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Merlot are added to enhance the wines depth and complexity.
Alcohol: 13.5%

I tasted the 2003 cab last night. Wow! One of the best I have tasted in the past ten years. Instantly, I found myself wishing I had saved it for Christmas. This wine is greatly under-priced.

The Franciscan Cabernet is one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted! It is full-bodied with wonderful essences of black currant, chocolate and the terrific lingering influence of the oak barrel aging. I give it my highest recommendation!
