    The Cabernet Franc Crabb’s Black Burgundy Block 5 comes from the Hermosa Vineyard and a block that sits immediately adjacent to Harlan Estate. The 2021 The Vineyard House Cabernet Franc, Block 5 is a blend of 87% Cabernet Franc and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is deep ruby and opaque; the bouquet is elegant with its florals perhaps dominating the fruits including of African violets and rose petals, accompanied by notes of raspberry jam, red plums and boysenberry. This is a riper expression of the variety but still offers plenty of varietal characteristics. On the palate there are darker fruited flavors including boysenberry jam, blackberry, dark plum and Persian mulberry. The tannins offer a firm and long-term tug, broadly coating with a persistent grainy, gravelly and dusty/chalky character. And there are some baking spice influences including cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Of all their bottlings, their Cabernet Franc perhaps pairs best with spicy food. Winemakers: Philippe Melka & Maayan Koschitzky. BX-6

    This full-blown, toast- and butter-scented wine boasts rich fruits, a mouthfilling texture and a lingering finish. Spicy toasted-oak aromas lead to vanilla, poached pears, toasted almonds and cream flavors that swell on the palate and linger on the finish. R39-3

    If there’s a superstar site in Petaluma Gap, it’s Gap’s Crown Vineyard, where persistent winds and fog ensure a long hangtime. The results show in this exciting whole-cluster red aged 15 months in (45% new) French oak. A pinch of earthiness lightly touches cinnamon-dusted cherries as the liquid’s delicacy graces the palate like a lace veil. Pomegranate is spiced with clove and bright acidity imparts freshness, satisfying through the juicy, dark-fruited finish. R3-3

    Crushed blackberries, dried herbs, spices and flowers. A round yet fleshy and juicy delivery of malbec and bonarda, delivering richness as well as drinkability. Pretty long, too. Drink or hold.

    The 2020 Malbec Tikal Amorio from Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley was 80% aged in barrels. Purple in the glass. The nose presents notes of ripe plum, herbs and floral hints over gentle but well-defined aromas from the aging process. Delicate in the mouth with a leisurely, juicy flow and taut texture, flavors of oak and candy gather at the back of the throat. A convincing, flavorful combination.
