2019 Enfield Wine Co. Cabernet Franc XB03/Cuveé Lizzie Waterhorse Ridge Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Fort Ross - Seaview (9/2/2022)
I opened a bottle immediately after this arrived, and it was unformed. A year later the pieces have come together, with dominant red fruit supplemented by warm tobacco and chalky, firm tannins. It’s still rather youthfully primary (shocking, I know), but there’s a picture emerging. I only have one left, so will leave it alone for a few years, to let the tannins mellow.
