This mostly cabernet franc shows form and finesse, due to the fine-grained tannins that frame the whole thing. Medium to full body, juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
Score: 96 James Suckling (JS), JamesSuckling.com, October 2018
Blended of 63% Cabernet Franc and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon from the To Kalon vineyard, the very deep garnet-purple colored 2016 The Falstaff is a little closed to begin, opening up to reveal red and black currants, blackberries and black cherries with floral wafts of roses and lilacs plus earthy hints of truffles, fertile loam and mossy bark. The palate is full-bodied, very firm and grainy with wonderful freshness and depth given by red fruit and mineral sparks, finishing long. This should age amazingly.
