The 2010 Cabernet Franc Caitlin’s Select is a blend of 80% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Somewhat of a paradox, this wine’s aromatics were sound and correct, although slightly reticent, as if the wine were closed down. But, in the mouth, there was an explosion of blue and red fruits, flowers and spice with lots of glycerin, flesh and body. I kept coaxing the wine to try and get more aromatic fireworks, but I just couldn’t do it. There is some licorice and blue fruits, but little else. However, in the mouth, the wine is brilliant, stunningly concentrated, velvety textured and a total hedonistic and intellectual turn-on. I’m sure more bouquet will develop since there is so much in this wine. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028?
