2015 Wandering Star
Not far off the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon, the 100% Cabernet Franc 2015 Wandering Star reveals a ruby/purple col-or as well as a complex array of earthy dark fruits, damp earth, spring flowers, and hints of vanilla. It’s a gorgeously layered, seamless Cabernet Franc that has moderate tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. It will deliver the goods over the coming 10-15 years. 94 Points Jeb Dunnuck (1/31/2019)

Winemaker Notes
Made of 100% Cabernet Franc aged 30 months in 80% new French oak, with an additional six months in bottle, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Cabernet Franc Wandering Star gives up a beautiful resiny nose with a core of kirsch, redcurrants and mulberries plus pencil shavings, menthol and earth. Full and rich with an herbal lift and grainy tannins, it finishes long and perfumed.
