2022 Force Tranquille Cabernet Franc

Checking in as 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Cabernet Franc Force Tranquille shines for its complexity, nuance, and elegance. Ripe red and black fruit, new leather, spicy wood, camphor, and graphite all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, elegant, seamless mouthfeel, and a great finish. As with most 2022s, it's upfront and ready to go. Nevertheless, this should have a nice evolution over the coming 15 years or so.
