2006 Lang and Reed Cabernet Franc



This was our aparitif wine, and was a real let down. Super huge tanins, muddled fruit, no balance at all. Very disappointed, but with the '03, we had to wait two years, so I will try this wine again (I have a case) in 2009!

I really applaud the wineamakers for taking on Cab Franc in California. Primarily a Bordeaux style blending grape, Land and Reed have elevated Cab Franc to a single bottling and many other winemakers have followed suit in America. Again, disappointed by the '06 showing, but I'm sure it will improve!
