Wine Enthusiast Review Rated 94 EDITORS CHOICE Here's a Cabernet Franc from Paso Robles that retains varietal character while showing the region's inherent power. Aromas of oregano, thyme, purple flower, and black plum draw in the nose. The palate shows a slightly bitter herbal bite that offsets the rich plum and violet flavors.
