Franciscan Stylus Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Napa Valley, California
winemaker's notes:
Stylus is the supreme expression of Franciscan's signature in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The
engraving on the label presents an aerial perspective of a wine press that symbolizes Franciscan's commitment to creating exceptional wines in hundreds of small lots and blending them to perfection.
Deep Garnet color.
Dense layers of ripe cassis, dark plum, cocoa and tobacco. Vibrant and complex
Very full bodied, with deep flavors of black fruit, dark cherry, anise and plum. Hints of sweet toasty oak, chocolate and coffee add complexity. Very fine rich tannins fill the palate, giving big body and supple texture, leading to a very long finish of cassis and cocoa.
86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot; 5% Merlot, 2% Malbec
