2018 Gallica Cabernet Franc

The 2018 Cabernet Franc is rich and deeply layered, with striking inner perfume and tons of sheer appeal. Moreover, the 2018 seems to represent a move towards greater finesse. The choices to work with fewer pumpovers and larger format oak brings out a level of nuance here that is beguiling. Of course, the personality of the year helps, too. There is so much to like.
