Cabernet Franc, Jax Vineyard, Napa Valley, CA, 2023

Jeb Dunnuck - 91 Another big, fruit-loaded, delicious effort, the 2023 Cabernet Franc JAX Estate shows black and blue fruits, sweet orange flowers, and chocolate. Aged 21 months in 75% French oak, it's full-bodied and has a round, supple, lush mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish. I love the balance and purity here. Drink this charming effort over the coming 10-12 years. Drink
